human right activist,Femi Falana, has
revealed that the constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, has no
provision for mace as a symbol of
authority in the National Assembly.
Falana, was the moderator at the
University of Ibadan community forum
interactive session for vice chancellorship
aspirants, held at the Trenchard hall, of
the university, on Monday.
Falana appealed to the aspirants to
consider independent student unionism
and fund as their main priority as
requested by the audience.
The issue became the common features
as raised by the audience to all the
aspirants. The development, then easily
gave the human rights activist an
opportunity to lecture the gathering on
future democracy.
According to Falana “In the area of
students unionism, I’m going to appeal to
this university administration or whoever
is taking over from the current vice-
chancellor to consider what is going on in
Abuja, particularly, the last outing by the
House of Representatives members when
they were fighting aimlessly and
meaninglessly over the mace.
“Mind you, I think there are law
professors here, in the entire constitution
of Nigeria, there are 320 sections,
nowhere is mace mentioned. It’s part of
the old parliamentary system. What the
constitution says is that House of
Representatives shall meet or convene
once it forms a quorum. In a quorum, is
one-third of the membership.
You cannot go to court and say because
there was no mace, the House of
Representatives or Senate is illegally
constituted.
