President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan, says governors, who were uncomfortable with the choice of direct primaries as the mode of electing candidates by political parties, should have dialogued with the National Assembly and other stakeholders as against their combative approach, which failed to yield result. Lawan says the matter was now out of the control of the legislature the moment it was transmitted to the president for assent. The Senate President says the National Assembly had done its job by transmitting the recently passed electoral amendment bill 2021 to Buhari and that the expectation was for him to sign it into law.
