sarrki:
The Bayelsa state supreme court judgment is one that has forced me into reading the electoral act and its provisions once again.

In my quest,the circled section caught my attention,but was shocked to be informed that section had been expunged from our laws.

I am not a Lawyer by profession of which I had admitted before now. So my Learned elders and Law Gurus,please help me learn on the following as it concerns our laws:

(1) If the National assembly makes a law and is assented to by the president,does it not become part of the constitution?

(2) Does the courts have powers to expunge an act of the National assembly from the constitution?

(3) If the Courts have powers to expunge acts of the National assembly,why then is it advised that if there are issues with certain laws or constitution,the National should act to correct same and not the courts?

(4) When an amendment is made to our laws or acts,for how long does it bind?

Please help me to learn!

Stop wailing
You Apc members act like lawyers when it seems to favour you.
But act like lawless thugs when the law is against you.

ALTERNATEID:


The particular section you circled in red was declared null and void by a high court judge some years ago. The Supreme Court later upheld the decision of the high court because it was not appealed. So, that section is just there on paper, it cannot be enforced.

1. Electoral law is not part of our constitution. A constitution is the body of law that states how a state will be constituted and governed. Every other laws draws their legitimacy through the constitution. The first thing a military government does is to suspend the constitution or a part of it in order to have legitimacy. Other laws are not suspended.

2. Only the Supreme Court does through legal instrument called judicial precedent and when they do, it becomes binding and law on its own unless a new law is passed by the legislatures.

3. It is just to formalize it and nothing more.

4. At the time it is signed.

Bayelsa judgment is apt if you are not sentimental. The judgement sacking Lyon was a pre-election matter meaning APC shouldn't have been on the ballot.

Being on the ballot then disqualified is different from being disqualified before the ballot. The Supreme Court only upheld a pre-election judgment of the High Court

ALTERNATEID:


If the section is inconsistent with any section of the constitution, the court can declare the inconsistent section null and void.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the high court so it’s a settled case already.

Yes.....if they feel it is at variance to the constitution as Justice G O K Oyewole posited.
