In a Matter , Presidential order and Court Order : Which One Supercedes the other?

In a Matter where An Actions was Stopped by one Government Agency after Seeking and Obtaining a State Court Order .

Now the Person Involved then Got a Link with the Presidency ,After Due Investigation ,Then the Presidency Issues out a Presidential Release order on the Matter so the Person can have Access to the Thing Involve .

Which One Is More Powerful or Supercedes the Other.

I need Knowledge and More Enlightenment about This .

The presidency , it has a veto

Presidential system gives the president undue power and overshadowing of every other forms of power

In Africa the president can snub the ruling of the supreme court if it goes against it's wish

Beign the arm of which the enforcement of law falls unto, he has the monopoly to compel every decisions that suits best it's interest

Thanks so much

In the case between the Federal Government and the Lagos State government, the Supreme Court said it was illegal that the Local Government allocations to the state were withheld. It ordered the payment. But Obasanjo refused to comply. That was why the payment was the first act of the Yar’Adua administration when it came in,”

Some president are Autocratic, a good example was Obasanjo, he had the power to remove Governors at will and disobey even the supreme Court judgement of course these were illegal and undemocratic, but the constitution gave the President almost absolute power, the one that could only be challenged by the NASS but here in Nigeria NASS is an unofficial branch of the Executive.

Okay...

Are you talking about ideally or in an anyhow government.

In a ideal situation, the court has the final say.
In an anyhow government, the president can ignore and do his own thing.

Okay..

In a place where there is rule of law and order, a court order done within the ambit of the law or constitution trumps the presidential order.

In a lawless place like ours, even an ordinary governor disobeys a court order (Recent Edo state governor's issues with duly elected LG chairmen). A presidential order can be greater than a court's order depending on who is affected.

The courts because the Constitution of a country and rule of law are supreme and above the president of such a country.
