President Muhammadu Buhari had nominated Adamu as AMCON’s new chairman in line with an amendment of the AMCON act that provides for a part-time chairman who shall be a deputy governor in the Central Bank of Nigeria.The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who backed his claims with some sections of the AMCON Act, said that the AMCON act provides that the chairman hold the office for five years.
“The said appointment was made pursuant to section 10 of the Act to the effect that ‘A member of the Board appointed pursuant to this section- shall hold office for a term of five years.’ “It is submitted that such provision as contained in Section 3 of the 2019 Amendment Act can only operate in futuro as it cannot nullify or annul an appointment made under the law before the amendment of the AMCON Act.
“This submission accords with section 6 of the Interpretation Act which provides that the repeal of an enactment shall not “affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability accrued or incurred under the enactment.”The human rights activist quoted Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, to have said: “Prima facie therefore new legislation will deal with future, not past events. If it were not so, the Act might annul rights already acquired, while the presumption is against this intention”.
