The Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said Peoples Democratic Party members will push for the adoption of the House of Representatives version of the Electoral Act Bill 2021.on Sunday, explained that the version passed by the Senate on the electronic results transmission was against the constitution of Nigeria.
Asked for his group’s next line of action, Abaribe said the members of the Minority Caucus that would be among the harmonisation committee would push for the adoption of the version passed by the House of Representatives. Abaribe said, “We are on vacation. The House of Representatives passed a different version from the one passed by the Senate.
“There will be a conference committee. Hopefully, the House version will be upheld since the Senate version offends Section 78 of the constitution.”
