Take for instance the constitutional provision that prevents ex-convicts from contesting for or holding public office for ten years. It has never been observed and no court has been able to enforce it. In 2018, Lawali Dogonkade, a lawmaker representing Kaura-Namoda in Zamfara state was convicted by a Gusau High Court of receiving a bribe of N4.5 million in a contract involving the sum of N31.2 million. He was sentenced to four years in prison with the option of a fine of N120, 000. He not only paid the fine but continued to occupy his seat at the state house of assembly.
