A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi state, Hon. Charles Oko Enya, has beseeched a Federal High Court in Abakiliki, Ebonyi state, to direct the National Assembly and the Attorney-General of the Federation and minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to remove constitutional clauses hindering elected President and state governors from seeking a third term in office. In his suit with No: FHC/AI/CS/90/19, which was filed at the court last Wednesday and made available to Daily Trust by his counsel, Barr. Iheanacho Agboti, the APC member is seeking for possible expungement of section 137(1) (b) and 182 (1) (b) in the 1999 constitution (as amended).

He insisted that the sections were infringement on the fundamental human rights of the likes of President Muhammadu Buhari and all state governors excluding the legislators. Hon. Enya explained that the ongoing two-term tenure is discriminatory to section 42(1)(a) and articles 2 and 3 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples rights.

Kindly subscribe here The defendants in the suit were the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Mohammed Sani-Omolori, the National Assembly and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami. Our reporter recalled that the applicant, (Hon. Enya), had served as the organising Secretary to President Buhari in the last 2019 polls.

According to him, “that section 137(1)(b)of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999 (as amended) restricting the president to only two terms of four years each, is inoperative by virtue of its discriminatory nature in relation to the executive and legislative branches of government in Nigeria, and therefore null and void and thus inapplicable”. Enya, who is earnestly awaiting the hearing of the matter soon, says he’s seeking the order of the court to direct the first and second defendants to delete and expunge sections 137(1)(b) and 182(1)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). He also tasked the third defendant as the Chief Law Officer of the federation to give the needed support to the first and second defendants to commence a constitutional amendment that would remove the restrictions and the alleged discrimatory sections on tenure limits.

He added that he is seeking “Order of the court nullifying and setting aside section 137(1)(b) and 182(1) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). “And directing the first and second defendants to delete and expunge sections 137(1)(b) and 182(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (as amended)

Thunder kee you there!

Not a bad idea only that this time wasterners go suffer well well

Well, if Buhari wants to get a third term today, he will easily have it....


Lots of people will support him and many more will even wish he dies on the mantle...


Infact, I want a Fulani to hold on to power for decades until the south get sense......

OZAOEKPE:

This rubber-stamp senator can twist the Constitution for his master....

If only Buhari wants a third term, he will have it...

Anytime they want to do something evil, they'll pick a pawn from the East. So you won't be able to say they had a hand in it.

They think they are smart but they are only clever by half.

Before the end of the third term, there will be no north and there will be half southwest.

I support this move as an Igbo man make him continue jare

Testing waters..... Na from clap dance dey start.

No be only third term.
Make Dem no go try dat OBJ stuff ooo

a very good idea, so by 2027 few would remain, idiots

He is making sense ...There is no way 16 years of PDP rot can be handled in just two term , I suggest we make it 16 terms for Buhari so he can solve the 16 years of PDP rot thoroughly

With brain dead people like Charles Oko Enya, a worthless Igbo man, it will be very difficult for Nigeria to move forward.

That's why I supported IPOB, so, that some of these idiots can have a separate country where they will be free to practice stupidity.

Baba fire on

How can someone who does nothing and knows nothing happening around him be tired. Think again.

Wow. I can't believe what my eyes are reading. Some people only think of themselves. How would you wish this upon your own country? Not like you're a citizen of another country!
