Election Sequence: Court Of Appeal Upholds National Assembly's Powers by thereturnoflucy(m): 4:27pm On Aug 01, 2018
A Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the powers of the National Assembly to make laws including the Bill amending election sequence.

The appellate court also dismissed the judgement of a Federal High Court in Abuja, which on April 25 stopped the National Assembly from overriding the assent of the president in the Bill.

A four-member panel of justices presided by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa on Wednesday held that the decision of the trial court in delving into the matter amounted to a breach of the Doctrine of Separation of Powers.
 
She said that having not signed the Bill into law, it remains within the powers of the National Assembly as provided in Section 4(1) of the 1999 Constitution, which the court has no jurisdiction over.

The National Assembly had last month asked the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja to set aside a Federal High Court judgement, which stated that it lacked the power to re-order the proposed sequence for the 2019 general elections.
