An All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Alhaji Abdullahi Musa, has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision not to sign the Electoral Act passed by the National Assembly. The top APC stakeholder who said the president’s rejection of the Act was as a result of pressure from some few selfish politicians, who do not wish for the progress of Nigeria, said the president should not have listened to such people.

He urged Buhari to reconsider his stand in the interest of the Nigerian people, particularly when the Act was the product of an executive bill sent by Buhari to the National Assembly. “President Buhari is once a beneficiary of the direct primary,”  Abdullahi Musa said, urging Buhari not to heed “those who want to destroy our hard fought democracy” but to act in the interest of Nigerian people.

The APC governorship aspirant who was in Yola, the state capital to present his campaign brief to APC stakeholders, told journalists that Mr. President has done so well and cannot afford not to sign the Act into law. Describing the non-assent as a threat to democracy, Musa stressed that something urgent needs to be done to save democracy

He added that under him as Adamawa State governor, there will be youth development through adequate education plans and policies that will encourage training and retraining of professionals in all sectors as education is the bedrock for any development. The APC governorship aspirant said gender equality is an integral part of his vision as his deputy will be a female in her 30s with smart ideas. He advised party members in the country to always work hand in hand for the growth of APC and for the victory of the party at all levels come 2023.
