President Muhammadu Buhari will sign the re-worked Electoral Act Amendment Bill on Friday, February 25.
A very close source to the Presidency, who had earlier revealed the intention of the President to assent the bill on Wednesday, confirmed the new date to Channels Television.
According to the very source, the new date will be honoured by the President.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, had disclosed on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television that Buhari would sign the bill between Tuesday and Wednesday.
“He (Buhari) will sign it (the bill) any moment from now,” he had said while appearing as a guest on a programme.
“It could be today, it could be tomorrow, it could be anytime, but within the 30 days.
“It could be signed today; it could be signed tomorrow. In a matter of hours; not days. Hours could be 24 hours; it could be 48 hours; not days, not weeks”
