President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the Not-Too-Young-To-Run Bill into law.
The President signed the bill this afternoon inside the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Buhari had, in his Democracy Day broadcast on Tuesday, pledged to sign the bill.
The bill was passed by the National Assembly in 2017 to alter Sections 65, 106, 131, 177 of the Constitution to reduce 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.
