Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for assenting to the ‘Not Too Young To
Run’ bill, with a call on him to sign other bills forwarded by the National
Assembly.
In a statement signed by his
Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said the
signing of the bill which lowered the age qualifications for elective offices
and aimed at allowing youths to participate in governance at all levels has
energized a critical sector of the Nigerian population and will further
democratize governance in the country.
He, however, urged President
Buhari to seize the opportunity of the popularity of the assent to the ‘Not Too
Young to Run Bill’ to also sign the other bills contained in the constitution
amendment process which have since been forwarded to the him.
“I am very sure that the way this
newly signed bill has created enthusiasm among the youths, so will the other
bills in the constitution amendment process sent to the President excite
several sectors of our society if they are given effect by the presidential
assent.
“That is why I urge the President to quickly
consider the other bills and sign them as well,” Saraki stated.
