It is possible that people like Dr. Reuben Abati are either unaware of that law, perhaps think it is unconstitutional, or even have a different interpretation of the law


This line
Are you sure you're educated? I've read the Nigerian constitution several times from A to Z and nowhere does the President has power to suspend an elected officials.

Even the Supreme Court ruled that the President has no such powers due to previous case that was why President Jonathan couldn't suspend hose Governors in the North even when he declared SoE

Jonathan declared state of emergency but based on the fact that he understands the constitution, he knows he can't remove an elected governor... See how they are inviting an ant infested firewood, they should not be surprised when lizard begins visiting their house.

Dear Reno, I understand you are being paid to do this undignified hatchet job for Jagaban...!

But, can't you at least apply some finesse to this ass-licking?!!

It's stupidity to think the president declared state of emergency without the input of the NA.
He doesn't have to consult them first, but he is obligated by law to send the gazette to them afterwards. The assembly upon a resolution can either rectify by a 2/3 majority or reject such declaration.
It's all contained in section 305 of the constitution.

https://x.com/renoomokri/status/1902314669240676865?s=48[/quote]Omokri is maaaad.

He should quote where under the (Repeal and Re-enactment) Bill of 2018

Where it was explicitly quoted that powers can be given to the president to suspend a democratically elected Governor.

I wonder who is giving this Reno with pseudo intelligence uneeded relevance.

Merely suspending a governor’s powers would mean restricting his ability to act while he remains in office, whereas suspending him altogether effectively removes him from office.

Even if one were to interpret the Emergency Powers (Repeal and Re‑enactment) Bill of 2018 as broadly expanding the president’s emergency authority, its language does not explicitly authorize the outright removal or suspension of an elected governor.

Most legal experts argue that the president’s power under that Act would be limited to curtailing a governor’s executive functions during a crisis—not deposing him, which remains a constitutionally protected process typically involving impeachment by the state legislature.

Reno is so so unintelligent

First of all, laws of the Federation are different from the constitution. All laws have to do is make sure they do not go against anything the constitution says for a law to be valid or accepted as constitutional.

Now more importantly, please tell us when the Supreme court ruled and said a president cannot suspend a governor when a State of Emergency is declared. Please we ask you provide us the exact scenario when this was determined and not hearsay or conjecture.
Re: Omokri To Abati: Your Phd Is A Bad Reflection On Nigeria's Education Sector by ElevationD: 5:40pm On Mar 19, 2025
This fellow will always talk rubbish.

Looking at the Emergency Powers (Repeal and Re-enactment) Act, 2018, which part of it explicitly grants the President the right to either suspend or remove an elected governor and members of the state house of assembly? Where is it stated there please. The processes of removing a governor are well known.

By the way, does Reno Omokri know more than the entire Nigerian bar association? Reputable lawyers have severally over the years stated that it is unlawful in a democracy for a President to suspend or remove a governor, looking at the relevant sections of the law.

Granted that BAT move to prevent a breakdown of law and order, or the destruction of the nation’s oil assets, we must not fail to state it the way it is.

Now it is time to put that law to test in the courts.

“In 2004 and 2006, we condemned the illegal dissolution of democratic structures when President Olusegun Obasanjo imposed emergency rules on Plateau State and Ekiti State, respectively. Regrettably, on both occasions, the Supreme Court refused to determine the constitutional validity of the dissolution of democratic structures on the ground that the suit were procedurally incompetent because they were instituted during the six-month emergency period by the suspended legislators in the name of Plateau State without the authorization of the Sole Administration of the state!

However, in 2013, when a state of emergency was declared in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States by former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, we urged him to reject the pressure mounted on by anti democratic forces to remove the elected Governors and dissolve democratic structures in the affected States. President Jonathan followed the path of constitutionalism.

In 2021, the then Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami SAN announced the plan of the federal government to declare a state of emergency in Anambra State over insecurity and threat to a complete breakdown of law and order in that part of the Federation We advised President Buhari not to demolish democratic structures even if emergency rule was imposed on the state. President Buhari followed the path of constituionalism.

In the cases of Adegbenro vs. Attorney-General of the Federation (1962) 1 NLR 338 F.R.A. Williams V Dr. M.A. Majekodunmi (1962) 1 NLR 328 the Supreme Court of Nigeria validated the Emergency Powers Act 1961 to justify the dissolution of democratic structures as well as suspension of fundamental human rights in western region. As there is no equivalent of the Emergency Powers Act 1961 under the current constitutional dispensation, the suspension of an elected Governor by an elected President is a constitutional anomaly under the 1999 Constitution.

In Attorney General of the Federation v. Attorney General of Abia State & Ors (2024) LPELR-62576 (SC) filed by the Bola Tinubu administration, the Supreme Court of Nigeria held that the removal of elected chairmen and councilors as well as appointment of sole administrators or caretaker committees by State Governors to run local government councils are illegal and unconstitutional. It follows to reason that the suspension of elected governors and elected members of the House of Assembly by the President is illegal and unconstitutional in every material particular.

To that extent, a serving or retired military officer can not be imposed as a Sole Administrator to govern any state in Nigeria. Similarly, a military officer cannot be appointed by the National Assembly as a Sole Administrator to govern the Nigerian people during a war between Nigeria and another country.

In the Speaker, Bauchi State House of Assembly v Hon Rifkatu Danna (2017) 49 WRN 82 and several other cases, Nigerian Courts have held that the suspension of elected legislators is illegal and unconstitutional. Therefore, the National Assembly should not endorse the illegal suspension of the Rivers State legislators that have not defected from the People’s Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress. Instead of approving the illegal dissolution of democratic structures in Rivers State, the National Assembly should assist Governor Fubara by invoking its powers under section 11 (4) of the Constitution “to make laws for the peace, order and good government of that State”

Therefore, we are compelled to call on President Bola Tinubu to follow the path of constituionalism without any delay. The President should proceed to reinstate the suspended Governor Fubara and Deputy Governor Odu and restore all democratic structures in Rivers State. This call is without prejudice to the duty imposed on the President to adopt extraordinary measures to restore law and order in Rivers State under Governor Fubara in strict compliance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended”

President GEJ did not suspend the governors because he took legal advice from his AGF Adoke, who will go down as one of the poorest and most corrupt AGFs we have ever had.

In Adoke's book, he states clearly that he was the only person in government who convinced GEJ not to suspend the governors because he felt the 1999 constitution did not support this and the law that Obasanjo's AGF based his own suspensions on was to old and unconstitutional.

One thing everyone must understand is only a court, not an AGF, not a Abati, not a Falana, not the NBA and not even a President can declare a law passed by any assembly in Nigeria of whatever year unconstitutional.

If you think I am lying go to the North and commit adultery with any lady and when they take you to court you can be arguing that your offence is not contained in the 1999 constitution and it is unfair that they use a law passed almost a 100 years ago to convict you.

.

Don't be ridiculous.
Abati graduated from the University of Calabar, Nigeria in 1985. He later studied at the University of Ibadan as a University Scholar.
He holds a PhD in Theatre Arts, specializing in Dramatic Literature, Theory and Criticism from the University of Ibadan (1990); a bachelor's degree in law from Lagos State University, Lagos (1999).
That you are writing about JAMB cut off score for PhD admission simply exposed your ignorance. Your post is a reminder to never take opinions of those who have never been through your experience seriously.
