The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to sign the Code of Conduct Bureau and the Code of Conduct Tribunal Act amended by the National Assembly.
The group In a statement by its Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu asked Nigerians and worker unions to ensure that Buhari does not sign the amended Act.
The statement read in part, “We are taken aback that just months after it initially suspended the move to amend the CCB and the CCT Act, the National Assembly subtly passed the amendment Bill into law.
“When the plan by the National Assembly to amend the Act first became known to members of the public, there was deafening outcry, which forced the lawmakers to suspend the move.
“The CNPP, just like many other Nigerians had thought that the National Assembly by the suspension of the earlier move to amend the CCT/CCB Act was a sign of good days ahead where the lawmakers respect the majority opinion of their respective constituencies.
“But the subtle passage of the amendment Bill is an indication that the National Assembly is serving the interest of its principal officers, and not that of the Nigerian people who unfortunately elected this crop of lawmakers, so insensitive to the core issues bothering the ordinary citizens.”
