The President had three times rejected assent to the bill, a development which has continued to generate speculations.
Reacting in a post on Twitter, former Vice President Abubakar urged Nigerians not to take President Buhari assurance of a free and fair 2019 election seriously.
Atiku wrote: “President, assurances that your administration will conduct free, fair and credible elections cannot be taken seriously.
“For Nigerians and especially us in the opposition, you just missed an opportunity to walk the talk.”
