The Court of Appeals did not dwell into the substantive matter which is to determine whether the Senate has the power to fix dates of election or whether it is INEC's sole power to do so. The Appellate court only addressed the jurisdiction of the lower Court to entertain the suit and the Accord Party's locus standi to institute the suit in the first place.

That a proposed law in the nature of a Bill still being debated by the Legislature can not be challenged since it has not been passed and signed into law is the only matter addressed by the court here, not whether the Senate has or does not have power to order the sequence of election time table. The Court's decision is that determining such an issue at that stage would amount to hampering the power of the Legislature while performing their duty within the scope of separation of power.

The Court's opinion is that the Senate's action would have at best been allowed to hold through by allowing them to finalise the making of the Bill and if such is signed into law by the President, then any person dissatisfied or affected by the law is at liberty to approach the Court to set aside the law.

In the case here, the Accord Party did not wait till the bill or proposed amendment was actually made into law before approaching the Court to set it aside; that was the reason why the Appeal Court described the action as "premature", even if the Accord Party had the locus standi to institute the action.

As it is, the question whether the Senate has the power to determine the sequence of election time table or not has not been determined yet. It is still undecided. If at any time in the future, the Senate revisits the issue and includes in the Electoral Act the sequence of election and such is assented to by the President, INEC or any person that feels affected can still approach the court to challenge it. It's the final decision of the Judiciary by then that will determine whether it is the Senate/Legislature that has the power to do so or INEC.

If the President fails to assent the election re-ordering bill, then he should kiss 242 billion yams good bye.

No be Maradona again? We shall see who runs the Senate.

When Tinubu was pulling his ears, he was forming EVerybody and for Nobody, yet few weeks later he invaded all public offices with his kins men

Wow. Come see grammar below grin Which one is "non-justiceable" again

Nigerians and their tendency to apply big words to everything.

According to the appellate court, the high court ought to have dismissed the suit for being frivolous, premature, inchoate and non-justiceable.

I am not sure you read it well they still need the President's assent for it to become law,without his signature they will need two third of both Houses of Assembly. Thief senate let the presidential elections come 1st in sequence it will be in favor of the the President,all their plans will fail.

I thought Adeyanju and PDP members are intelligent.This process will die in court and end up as academic exercise. If actually court of appeal nullifies the FHC judgement, i am sure attorney general will head to supreme court and file for stay of execution and the law says electoral act can not be amended 6months to election. The NASS will resume by September meaning 5months to election case closed.

Anyone that thinks this NASS will have their way on this is going on wishful thinking, they can't even muster 2/3 to carry out the amendment now that the battle line has be drawn with 50 senators paying loyalty to APC.

U're a slowpoke, wetin concern Deji with court judgements?

The decision makes no difference as the election ordering sequence as proposed by PDP and Saraki will never become law. Even if it is re-introduced and passed by the National assembly, Buhari will still veto it and Saraki cannot get the required 73 senate votes to override his veto. Sorry to burst your bubble PDP wailers, this changes absolutely nothing.
That bill has everything to do with the personal and selfish interests of the senators who will want to be sure that they have secured their seats back to the Senate before breaking their heads to help the president win. And that selfishness cuts across parties, so I am certain APC senators will vote for the bill.

I am little concerned. Do you need help. You seem to have a suicidal tendency.

I am serious, I know a doctor, who can help.

See ignorance....you won't know something but the zombie in you can't keep calm


President doesn't veto bills...he can only decline to assent to it


It is the NASS that vetos bills when the president refuses to assent once they can garner 2/3 majority


Try and drink some cow milk for better reasoning

Really? grin grin grin

You see, it is not really bad when you don't know. What is very bad however is when you don't know and you don't know that you don't know. Spewing ignorant position confidently is not a substitute for intelligence.

The President vetoes bills.Declining assent is veto.
The National Assembly OVERRIDE vetoes.
To topic,the NASS can amend the Electoral Act even two weeks before elections.Where the zombies on this thread are getting their 6months rubbish is baffling.
Very funny set of people,grasping at the air,not even straws.
