The Senate president and the Attorney General of the Federation should be ashame of themselves. They were with the electoral law for weeks but allow one of the section to be signed into law. The PDP was in power for 16years yet they never thought it worthwhile to amend the Electoral law. Then APC that Amended it few days ago and was widely praised want it re-amended!. In just less than a week that the law was passed, APC want to re-amend what they just enacted They want section 84(12) deleted What Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act, 2022 Provide? Section 84(12) “No political appointee at any level shall be voting delegates or be voted for at the Convention or Congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election”. PDP took them to court to stop the new planned amendment and the court favors PDP. Now is it PDP that fail to touch the electoral law for 16 good years or the Attorney General of the Federation that should have read the law word for word with deep meaning we should blame for not seeing what they don't like? Now that section is a trap waiting to devour politicians. 6 Likes |

Cross_carpeting is not wrong but the fact that the party sponsored you for an election which you eventually became successful.... It is fraud to decamp..... It should be constitutionised that on no account should one who was sponsored by a party should decamp after winning election.... Decamp and forfeit your mandate..... 7 Likes |

Loud it...North can never be our problem,I don't think we share borders with them and they can be confused and conquered easily,We just need to read and revise the fulanis manuscripts and blue prints to subdue them.... West cannot be our problem in terms of warfare (both sides east and west will be shocked and destroyed)..My problem is why can't they(west )just remain neutral or pick a side once and for all....

Nigeria is becoming useless with each passing day. Why will any reasonable judge stop the legislature from doing their constitutional duty? |

Xscape1993:= Off point! He has given valid reasons why the court cannot dabble or interfere with the legislative making powers of the National assembly as enshrined in the constitution. The Legislative powers of the National Assembly is not the Jurisdiction of the Court. You should counter those reasons by citing the section of the constitution that says otherwise. 4 Likes |

Even though I prefer that the electoral act be left the way it is now and let us see it in operation to find if there are other contentious issues and then do a comprehensive amendment, I agree with the Senate President. The intention of those who went to court is to use the judiciary to frustrate the legislature from doing its constitutional role. If that is encouraged, it will bring friction between both arms of government. In my opinion, the plaintiffs will not suffer any injury if the legislature chooses to reject the amendment from the executive or adopt to amends it because they can challenge it in the court but using the court in this manner to block the legislature is sinister and infantile. Governance is serious business. The court should throw out requests to tie the hands of the legislature and allow the Nigerian Senate and HOR legislature do its work. If the clause removal is against the constitution, they should let the courts now decide afterwards. As the election approaches, the judiciary needs to be very careful against being used by politicians to create chaos. The NJC must read the judges a riot act to avoid issuing frivolous and ineffectual injunctions that bring the judiciary into ridicule. Meanwhile, On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand. Please support and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Only patriotic Nigerians whose hearts are not filled with hatred, bitterness and bigotry are on board the BAT 2023 winning train. Patriotic Nigerians on the BAT 2023 winning train are the Nigerians who have a stake in Nigeria and genuinely want to see Nigeria flourish, they are the Nigerians who will rather love than hate, who will rather build than burn/destroy and who will rather bless their nation than curse it. They are not bigoted tribesmen and those who spread hate against their fellow human being. Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader who is a Patriot to the core. He will keep his promise to take Nigeria to greater heights. By May 29, 2023 it will end in praise to the Glory of God for the handover to an Asiwaju Tinubu led-Presidency. Please support and vote for the BAT 2023 Presidency project to make Nigeria greater. Thank you. May God bless you and may God bless Nigeria for ever.

Xscape1993: He is actually right. Separation of powers should be respected as is in line with our constitution. The Judiciary cannot infringe on an already executed bill by the Executive arm of government which in turn asked the legislative to amend certain portions it already signed. The Judiciary is trying to usurp powers onto itself and that is wrong It is clear that PDP does not understand the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and Judiciary. Why and how would a whole Ekweremadu of PDP want the Legislative to obey the dictates of the Judiciary when clearly this matter does not concern the Judiciary? 3 Likes |
