The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the US government to compel the ruling All
Progressives Party, APC and President, Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Electoral
Act Amendment Bill into law.
The PDP also
recounted its achievements in 16 years at the helm of power to the US
government
The main opposition
party made the appeal when the US Consul General, Ms. Claire Pierangelo visited
Ogun State to meet the state’s governor, Dapo Abiodun, and other dignitaries.
The PDP National
Deputy Chairman, Southwest, Yemi Akinhanmi revealed the discussion with the US
Consul General when he addressed the press in Abeokuta, the state capital.
“The only way
forward in this country is that the President should be prevailed upon and let
him sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law.
“The bill has been
on the table of the President for over four years and it should be signed and
as well monitor our democracy because for democracy to thrive in the entire
black race, it must be monitored in Nigeria, otherwise, the coming generation
will not hear of democracy.
“We have told the
Consular General how the PDP has advanced democracy in Nigeria in 16 years. We
told her how we took democracy from the grass to the top.”
Pierangelo had earlier
spoken with journalists on the reason he visited the State, saying, “I am here
in Ogun State on my first visit to talk to the governor among other notable
people to know what is happening exactly so that we can suggest possible
cooperation between the United States particularly commercial opportunities,
agricultural opportunities, and educational opportunities.”
