Hours back we reported that President Muhammadu Buhari today signed the Not-Too-Young-To-Run Bill into law. Now a video of the exact moment it happened has emerged online.
The President signed the bill into law at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, barely two days after he promised to do so. President Buhari tweeted about the development on his Twitter page.
This new law reduces the age qualification for president from 40 to 30; governor from 35 to 30; senator from 35 to 30; House of Representatives membership from 30 to 25 and State House of Assembly membership from 30 to 25.
Watch the video of the signing below:
At 2.30pm today May 31, 2018, I signed into law the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that was conceived, championed and accomplished by young Nigerians. The Bill has now become an Act of Parliament. It is a historic day for Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/yDbiQUX6l5— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) May 31, 2018
