Fergie001, you got it all wrong again. The Supreme Court has thrown away the stupid lawsuit of Malami that you supported. I was thinking of hiring you as my lawyer before but with the look of things, I think garfield1 is a better choice 284 Likes 2 Shares |

Any political party that would have allowed political appointees to participate in their primaries, without resigning would have automatically have their primaries INVALID. A huge let-out!!! “The President lacks the power to direct the National Assembly to amend or enact an act..it violates the principle of separation of powers. “There is no part of the Constitution that makes the exercise of legislative powers subject to the directive of the President,” the court said. 13 Likes 1 Share |

seunmsg:Read what you wrote again or you don't understand the case? Buhari sent a letter to the NASS to delete 84(12), they declined. Now, the same Buhari wants to challenge it. The SC did not determine on its merits but said Buhari cannot challenge what he signed. https://tribuneonlineng.com/appeal-court-upholds-nullification-of-section-8412-of-electoral-act/ (This is the Appeal Court Judgement) The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court Umuahia which nullified Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act which required public office holders seeking elective office to resign before primaries or they cannot participate. In the lead judgment delivered by the Court agreed that the provisions of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act are in conflict with the provisions of the Constitution. The Appeal Court upheld the judgment of Justice Evelyn Anyadike that Sections 66(1)(f), 107(1)(f), 137(1)(f) and 182(1)(f) of the 1999 Constitution already stipulated that appointees of government seeking to contest elections were only to resign at least 30 days to the date of the election and that any other law that mandated such appointees to resign or leave the office at any time before that was unconstitutional, invalid, illegal null and void to the extent of its inconsistency to the clear provisions of the Constitution. 10 Likes |
