• ‘Even Buhari Complied By Asking Ministers To Resign’In a unanimous decision, yesterday, the apex court led by Justice Muhammad Dattijo held that it lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit, which it said amounted to an abuse of the judicial process.
They also sought “a declaration that having regard to the clear provision of section 1 of the constitution read together with section 4 of the same constitution, the legislative powers vested in the defendant do not permit or empower it to make any other law prescribing additional qualifying/disqualifying grounds for election to the national assembly, house of assembly, gubernatorial and presidential election outside the express constitutional qualification and disqualification provisions as...
It argued that President Buhari, having assented to the Electoral Bill, he, “has conclusively discharged his duty under the Constitution”. “It can only be invoked if there is a dispute between the President and the National Assembly, when there is a dispute on the issue of law. The legal body, which said it was before the court to represent Nigerian citizens, also prayed the Supreme Court to dismiss the suit in public interest.
In its lead judgment that was prepared and delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim yesterday, the apex court upheld the arguments of the defendants and accordingly struck out the suit. This suit came weeks after the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, struck out the Section 84 on the ground that it was in conflict with some sections of the nation’s constitution.
“Like he was misled over the issue of grazing routes in the past, the same thing with the new Electoral Act. Having assented to a bill, the same President cannot go ahead to seek to delete an aspect of the bill.
So this people are already planning to spoil this electoral act for us
Them for Kukuma throw am out join with the suit. Suffer dong tire us.
