The Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan, has maintained that President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be forced into signing the 2018 Electoral Act Amendment bill into law.
Buhari had refused to assent to the bill on three occasions, citing errors in the amended before the latest version was submitted to the presidency.
Speaking to State House correspondents after jumaat prayer at the Presidential Villa on Friday, Lawan said the president has signed more bills than any previous President.
