National Assembly vows to override buhari's veto

President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto of the Electoral Act
Amendment Bill might not have long to fly, as the Senate steps up moves to override it .
The ‘Like Minds Senators’ have already begun mobilising their colleagues for the legislative show of force. The group, led by Dino Melaye, had in June 2015 steered intrigues that ensured Bukola Saraki emerged as Senate President.
Buhari on Tuesday withheld assent to the controversial bill passed by the lawmakers on February 14, 2018. The bill, a potential game changer, re-ordered the sequence of next year’s general election, making the National Assembly first and the presidential last.
