In signing the Electoral Bill into law earlier today, @MBuhari objected to s. 84(12) of the law & requires @nassnigeria effectively to amend the law in order to repeal rust provision. The #NationalAssembly must disregard & resist this request. Here is why (Thread)

#ElectoralAct Image
S. 84(12) says:

"No political appointee at any level shall be voting delegate or be voted for at the Convention or Congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election".
Now, @MBuhari claims that: The practical application of section 84(12) is to "by operation of law, subject serving political office holders to inhibitions & restrictions", disabling them from running for office or participating as party members under the constitution.

My favorite quote:
"As the Globe and Mail reported on May 6, in a story unfortunately hidden behind its paywall, AIMCo. has been significantly underperforming other pension managers for more than a decade." #ABLeg #handsoffmypension
And:
"Of course, that fact didn’t stop Alberta Finance Minister Travis Toews from claiming last fall in a Postmedia op-ed accusing “union bosses” of “scaremongering” that AIMCo “regularly achieves spectacular investment performance.”"

This is your daily pension announcement: Part two, stirring the pot Lethbridge style. @SPhillipsAB #AbLeg #abed

Take a look:

These letter writers are correct: they have been betrayed by the UCP invoking billions of dollars of changes on issues that were not part of their platform and that were never consulted on. #thatsucks #handsoffmypension #whattools
And, they are concerned because there are no details on the $41 million of savings that are supposed to "magically appear". Well, you have not found any details because none exist. #noconsultation #handsoffmypension

This is your daily pension announcement: @GrantHunterUCP this is for you! Down and dirty!
A lesson on institutional investors. JK ran on jobs, economy and pipe. He has done nothing yet but drive investment away and destroy jobs. #nothanks
During my time at ATRF I got to meet a fair number of institutional investors from all over Canada and the USA. Let me introduce you to their unique psychology. They prioritize predictability above all else.
Predictability in government policy for instance. So when JK starts waving the #wexit flag and fanning the flames institutional investors run. They want political stability over a 10-15 year time horizon.

This is your daily pension announcement: Crony edition!
The cronies seem to be back in town.

Travis still has not released the business case he used to make this ATRF decision. He promised to weeks ago.

My question of the day is what does this make him? #AbLeg @SPhillipsAB
I am shocked and disgusted by MLA Grant Hunter and the other arm raising seals' comments in the leg. Something along the lines of "the ATA and union bosses told people to protest" and the media had "mis-reported" events. #handsoffmypension #AbLeg
Well, Grant and Travis, nobody told me to do anything. Not 1 single thing. I can see that the public is misled all on my own. So can anyone else who can do math. In fact, I am so independent that you didn't even pay me when I was the Board Chair of the ATRF. #thanksfornothing
