Malami's letter | The Nation

It is to right an original wrong while, unwittingly, drawing attention to a constitutional anomaly on the separation of powers

Here is an excerpt: “My office is in receipt of a letter dated 3rd August, 2020 from Messrs West Idahosa & Co. requesting for the intervention of my office on behalf of its clients who are members-elect of the Edo State House of Assembly, but who were excluded or prevented from being inaugurated till date since the House was inaugurated on 17th June, 2019.”

There was even the story of one of the lawmakers who attended in a pair of shorts, giving a sartorial desperation to the inauguration legend. What it meant in effect was about 40 percent of the lawmakers representing 100 percent of the Edo State people. This is not democracy but a localised form of oligarchy, in which a few foisted their rule on a majority. The governor hailed what is turned a fait accompli into a constitutional legitimacy. That is a military logic. This is the sort of system akin to what the world witnessed in medieval Europe and even some kingdoms on the African continent.
