The Senate On Wednesday rejected the request by President Muhammadu Buhari seeking to delete a clause in the newly-signed electoral act.
The Senate on Tuesday vowed to work on the amendment on clause 84 (12) sought by President Buhari, to the new Electoral Act despite a court order barring the National Assembly from working on the document.
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made the declaration just as the official communication from President Buhari scaled first reading on the floor of the red chamber.
Lawan said, “No court process can stop the National Assembly from performing its legislative duties. The judiciary knows that we have our processes.
However, the upper chamber on Wednesday, rejected the bill through a voice vote when it was tabled to be read a second time.
