APC created a policy, APC kept quite, APC accepted the policy, then APC gave deadline that was when APC saw the the error in the policy because APC now sees it as a threat to them buying vote.
APC now crying wolf.

A presidential executive order supercedes any order in the land.

DeLaRue:


You are wrong.

AfricanColumbus:



Legal action on monetary policies from CBN must begin at the high court and proceed higher if necessary.

A case on a monetary policy cannot begin at the supreme court. That's abuse of court proceeding.

PointZerom:


Then take your old naira notes to him.

incandescentena:
I am not against the policy. But why when did Buhari start making monetary policy pronouncement? What happened to all the new notes CBN governor said it was released daily to banks? What happened Why not the redesigned currency? What i do know is that the implementation has failed and they are not confused about the situation that is coming ontop their heads. Buhari is in Ethiopia licking ass, emefiele go hear shege...

Nwaide01:
It is he who enforces orders that has the final talk. I rest my case.

I stand by Gov. El Rufai

AfricanColumbus:
A lot of arguments are currently raging online on if the president's executive order should supercede a supreme court ruling.

This are few points to note, which are sacrosanct.

● The president is the number one citizen in the land and his directives are final.

● From above, a president's executive order can only be revoked by the president himself.

● From above, a president's executive order may be deemed unconstitutional, but in very rare cases.

● A president's executive order is hardly deemed unconstitutional because executive orders do pass through legislature for checking.

● From above, a president can decide to veto the legislature and give an executive order nonetheless, if deemed crucial.

● The three arms of government are equal truly, but the powers that be are lodged mainly in the executive (president).

● From above, the president is not under the judiciary and can overrule ANY ruling from the supreme court in a critical situation.

● The president who is also the overall head of the Nigerian armed forces can effect the immediate arrest of ANY governor in Nigeria. Though situations like this hardly arise.


Nigerians need to understand that there are no binding powers on the president of the federal republic. The president only has the "obligation" to respect the court orders. It is not binding on him. A presidential executive order supercedes any order in the land.

Op, let's start from here:

What's your qualification to have an opinion on this matter?

LL.B, B.L or LL.M. ?

You're writing trash.

AfricanColumbus:



But the central bank controls the monetary policies, through the banks.

Karemarealty288:


"So, what was the whole essence of the jagaban's army, instead of wailing about the CBN policy, why not lead ur battalions to go arrest buhari and Emefiele"

The president has the power to veto any ruling of the court, if it is deemed crucial.

The supreme court of Nigeria has the power to declare an executive order null and void.

The Supreme Court has the power to say that a man can marry a man and a man can change into a woman. It has happened in many democratic countries.

The supreme court has the power to say that abortion is legal or illegal against the order of the president or laws enacted by the legislature and heavens will not fall. It happened in American last year.

If an election petition from the court of appeal gets to the Supreme Court, tye supreme court has power to declare the seat of the president vacant because he was invalidly elected.

The Supreme Court has the power of reinstating a president who is impeached and removed.

The Supreme Court has the power of declaring a law made by the National Assembly null and void and unconstitutional.

After the Supreme Court, you go to God.

The only abuse of power and unconstitutional actions are the actions of President Buhari.

The good news is that, the governors enjoy the same immunity he has.

AfricanColumbus:



* An executive order cannot be declared null and void because it is constitutionally backed.

* The supreme court has the power to declare an impeachment process illegal, not reinstate the president.


The president is not binded by ANY ruling by the court as the powers that be are mainly vested in the executive (president).

DeLaRue:


In a banana Republic, yes.

In every serious democracy including the USA, a President cannot veto an order of the Supreme Court.

It's the same in the UK, Germany, France, Canada, South Africa etc.

N3TRAL:


Stop disgracing yourself.

The supreme court can declare the Acts ,that is laws, made by the National Assembly null and void and unconstitutional. What the fvck is an executive order?
Hear this boy: the supreme court can declare an ultra vires executive order null, void and unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court can declare the impeachment of the President illegal and make an order to reinstate him as president.

Again, what's your qualification to have an opinion on this matter? LL.B, B.l or LL.M ?
