dignity33:they need to first amend the consistution before they amend INEC assignment. Election sequence is not in the constitution but powers is fested in electoral act for INEC to set election dates and details. It’s rule of law not rule of common sense |

I wander how election date pattern can save any candidate from being voted out.if truly the majority of voters have decided to vote any candidate out,the earlier the election date the better to vote him out.What needs to be considered is the most economical sequence |

Olumaeme: Budget of INEC is not a constitutional matter bro. On the card reader, there is an election process described by the constitution which was amended by an electoral act in 2010, the 2010 amendment prohibited electronic voting. This caused divergent opinions on whether INEC is contravening the 2010 act or not by using card readers. The constitution and act both had given INEC the free will to decide but the act which was an amendment prohibited electronic voting. Because of the arguments, an act was sought and passed in 2017 to legalized card reader and to displace all arguments or those who may decide to challenge its use in court. The exact point i am trying to make, INEC has the right enshrined in the constitution to decide how it will register voters conduct the process. No act or amendment can remove that right from INEC whether all the law making processes are followed because any law that contravenes the constitution becomes null and void. So, NA can add provisions, which they did in 2010. These provisions are to put the elections in a better scope and limit the right of INEC especially with regards to electronic voting. It was established that INEC didnot contravene the 2010 act by card reader because the card reader is a voter authenticating maching not a voting machine. NA passed an act in 2010 to capture the card reader and make it legal. On the bolded, any law created by NA, passed by state assemblies and LG councils and signed into law but contravenes the constitution is not a law. Thats why the judiciary is there. The judiciary will simply strike the new law out if approached. When the constitution says armed robbery is a crime no legislation can make armed robbery legal. Legislation can only increase or decrease the punishment. The law checks itself even against those who make laws. Lastly, even though the NA is the highest law making body in Nigeria with so much powers, those powers are absolutely limited by politics and bereaucracy. They have the powers but cannot use it in certain cases. Example of that is state creation or referendum that people are shouting for. The law process looks easy but to fufil the process is near impossible. |

adanny01: Which part of the constitution states that INEC must conduct presidential election first? I think you may be confusing the constitution with the INEC act. 1 Like |

agabusta:If that is the case, his loyalists won't be fighting with tooth and nail against it. Buhari cannot win election without the support of various power blocks in different state. The senators against the bill are the unpopular ones who can't survive without Buhari, by making NASS elections come first, they are shielding themselves from the consequences of the presidential elections outcome. Even if Buhari becomes desperate, he is as good as the support he can get at the local level which is controlled by Senators and Reps. 1 Like |

progress69: So because your lord and master has said it is illegal now you are on course so therefore you have refused to use your brain again to reason the matter out. Perhaps you need to read brilliant debates here on this matter and be educated for once and stop this prattle you are saying like a baby who can't reason. I maintain, what the Senate did is welcome under a democratic setting and not illegal in this matter. 1 Like |

adanny01: Seems you have agreed already "NA IS THE HIGHEST LAW MAKING BODY IN NIGERIA WITH SO MUCH POWERS, LIMITED BY POLITICS AND BUREAUCRACY" That's why I said they can do anything with the law but subject to some Terms and conditions. And yes, National Assembly can tamper with sequence of election in the interest of the citizens because they represent them.. Time Will tell, save this post, you will remember I told you when they finally change it |

progress69:You should be unprogressive69 with the way you reason upside down. Did you know how many SANs in that Senate? Did you know how many Constitutional Lawyers in that Senate? We are talking of the supremacy of the Constitution that birthed the Electoral Acts you are here talking of an unwritten law being peddled by one drunken master Falana and a professional rigger Jega. Please don't quote me again. Perhaps my brother Xisnin can help your miseries and confusion. 1 Like |
