Court Stops Buhari, Senate President, Others From Tampering With Electoral Act by Kwanza: 10:50am On Mar 07, 2022
Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday stopped President Muhammadu Buhari, Attorney General of the Federation, and the Senate President from tampering with the newly amended Electoral Act 2022.

The judge in a ruling on an ex-parte application by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, agreed that the Electoral Act has become a valid law and cannot be tampered with without following due process of law.

Ekwo agreed with Chief James Ogwu Onoja SAN, counsel to PDP, that the proper place to challenge the validity of any existing law is a court of competent jurisdiction.

Specifically, the court restrained all the defendants in the suit from removing section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act or preventing It from being implemented for the purpose of the 2023 general elections.

Further hearing in the matter has been fixed for March 21.

He made the law and signed it

The house is dominated by APC and they allowed it

So what is the essence of this judgement

PDP that were in power for 16 Years yet couldn’t amend the electoral act,now even taking applause for something they couldn’t do

Obviously APC seeks for a free and fair election than PDP

The antagonist here is the AGF, Malami. He doesn't want his men to resign before contesting the elections. They want to use Federal Might and forces to intimidate their opponents.

I think Malami is interested in contesting for a political position.

apc always goofed by playing too much with delicate matters. Even the caretaker committee currently handling the party is like a looming doom because it was illegally constituted.
