While signing the Electoral Bill into law last month, President Buhari had asked the National Assembly to delete section 84 , which restricts sitting cabinet members from contesting for elective offices without resigning.
President Buhari argued that “Section 84 constitutes a disenfranchisement of serving political office holders from voting or being voted for at conventions or congresses of any political party, for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election in cases where it holds earlier than 30 days to the national election”.
afam4real, Yes please let all protest that they pass to law for all presidents, governors, ministers and public servants children’s most conclude al their education in Nigeria Public schools. I believe this will make a big impact in our educational systems.
Malami wants to be Governor of his home state .Amaechi is eyeing the presidency and the sitting president is being maneuvered by a small clique called the cabals including the gangs in charge of the disorganized ruling party APC .
God have mercy on this our country
SEPRATION OF POWERS BETWEEN EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATOR AND JUDICIARY IN ACTION
If they like make them remove the all the section
No just scrap the 1999 Constitution. Because this section didn't favour APC. This regime is a scam.
It's can't happen.. Judiciary are our problem in this Nation..PMB has already says this
how
we have constitutions?
Draft a new one that citizens will finally give their consent and power to. We love fooling ourselves in that contraption instead of standing by standards. We love to cut corners that why the country will continue to go down. Righteousness exalt a nation not falsehood and deceit
Why are you all patching a dilapidated sandy structure. Everyone here agrees that the decree called constitution isn't only defective but never went through the normal processes of drafting and consensual approval. The logical thing to do is to drop it into the ocean and
Why in God's name it's a Federal high court in Abia state, not Abuja or Lagos or Kano?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ok
Lol 😂 how we the court remove a law. Lol 😂
Nigeria is a house of commotion: confusions everywhere!
Laws in a democracy, are used sed for personal gains of elite We have seen an act to protect personal interest pass through legal path This one of them, removing an act that say you should resign because you want to contest but don't want to resign Clowns
As long a judgement favours Malami and Buhari they will be quick to implement it, even when it comes from a mushroom courts.
Yea I am
Is this section applicable to only appointees? Are the political office holders included?
😂😂
Mr court tell us ur reasons
What a Fake country like Nigeria, Fake government, Fake president, Fake millitary, Fake police.The Fulani's were so Lucky to meet this kind of people who called themselves Nigerians and who are so weak and stupid.
Nigeria is a country of signs and wonders.
Now I know most of those people that called themselves our leaders don't mean well for us, so because this section will not favor politicians most especially the greedy ones that's why they are approached court to get it deleted. May God help us in this country.
Why are you scared of laws that have not been put to the test. Please let's test it first...
So this constitution can be deleted just like that by a judge, and we have been wasting time calling for amendments. No need of amendments let all the judges start looking for the area they can delete and add too.
Are you serious or you are kidding? If this is that simple that means all the judges in Nigeria have sinned for allowing us to be using a defective constitution all this while, seeking for an amendment when dey can correct these wrongs without a parliament.
This guys always looks and talks like he is on drugs.
Does the court now amend constitution?
We are going to appeal so don't try it, High court can't be the final solution to this matter
No be lie my brother
You people should be playing gambling in this nation
This country sef every day new laws
Sure
But will the same constitution which stipulated that a public official should resign 30 days prior to their election day, if they are contesting electoral position be adhered to?.
Is my biz bcos , changing it will affect Nigerians negatively
Lots of odds in this Nigeria
Abeg, who get court, who get electoral act, if dem make dem remove everything, ko kan aye.
Malami wants to contest while still holding his office, he is trying all means to make sure the section in question does not stand. We have a compromized judiciary system that allows itself to be abused by the executive and politicians. Hurrible!
Well..it is laughable perhaps because it appears to be the first of its kind in Nigeria. If we critically look at the section 84(12), it's clear violation of the constitution. This is a political battle between the Governors/political appointees and the legislators.hail JUDICIARY
I have never seen or considered Malami asa learned person, he is always after his personal gain!
Constitution has been contradicting itself from the onset, it is a lie and judicial confusion; judiciary in Nigeria is a pure scam. All misconducts are under their watch.
A poor and failed administration that oppressed the masses; i lived my life supporting PMB all in vain. Allah ya isa
Malami, is working for himself. There is something fishy about this man. He has first requested immunity for his job role which wasn’t granted now this. EFCC shine your eyes
Then, they should amend the Constitution
Only in the time of malami and buhari that Nigeria Constitution can be removed just like that
Necessity is the mother of invention
Malami warming up for gubernatorial in his state
Let's strive and vote for people that have Nigerians at heart
Pp₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩₩0₩₩₩₩0⁰₩⁰00000⁰0⁰0000
So this constitution can be deleted just like that by a judge, and we have been wasting time calling for amendments. No need of amendments let all the judges start looking for the area they can delete and add too.
If the court want may they extend buhari tenure to millions years power is temporary.
Am still laughing at this country
Ndi one Nigeria, how market
You guys didn't get this. Is because south is about to take over president. So now as a present president, you have to resign before you contest for second tenor.
I will go to the court and ask it to swap president with the vice president, and vice versa.
Very good.
Is it not obvious that the government is always structured to favor these thieves all the time? They make the law and break the law… smh.. an example is abba kyari… since his drug saga, has he been paraded? SMH…
Nija na drama see APC funny people
This malami is one of the bad head in this government
What was done in Abuja was taken to Imo that's about 570Km away to get a Court order 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Comedians
Malami is working for some one not Nigerians. Want to change what is written in the law.
Why not the Legislators passed a bill that all the children’s of Legislators,President,governors,ministers etc should school here in Nigeria but they won’t because what we have is rulers not leaders . They don’t want to fix ASUU strike because there children’s are abroad.
This will be a hot topic in the table for the next 3 months. The right thing will be done in line with constitution.
Are you surprised? When he fired the first missile of National Interest overrides the rule of law, did you not see how hailers were hailing him? So today a court has now derived phantom powers to make legislation for the citizenry. We are getting there gradually.
They don start
Hmmmmmm wonders shall never end in this country...may God save us
This is insane order, do they think about the common man on the street. Whatever that does not favour them is not right. They want to use the government funds and influence to run for elective offices. Nigerians should counter this order by appealing the case.
We hope this is not the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob.
Great
Please why is it that we comment before reading articles in this country?
I blame NASS for this rubbish. They know the rules, they jus leave lacuna in our constitution to benefit there cronies
One can see the insincerity of this administration. The President and Governors want to continue dictating who emerges as candidates and that is why they are fighting tooth and nail to remove the clause. The civil rights group and Nigerians should raise objections.
Nigeria is becoming something else on daily basis
Not good for our democracy
Which says?
NJC should ask such Judge some questions na. We cannot continue like this.
pikaso_me screenshot this
So, anybody can go to court now, and ask the court to remove/delete whatever law that goes contrary to his believe. Thank God. I will approach a court on Monday to remove the STATE OF ORIGIN and replace it with STATE OF RESIDENCE.
It is an amended act, the section 84(12)of the electoral is an amendment to section 66(1)(f),107(1)(f),173(1)(f) and 182(1)(f) of the 1999 constitution. Any appointee intend to contest for any electional position should resign b4 the party congress.
I can say is a pretext this AGF want to say that he is not aware of the process before this bill pass into law!
Judiciary is the useless arm of government...they sell judgement to highest bidder. Just a few days back, a court give judgement that NASS assembly should not amend the constitution after being bought by PDP, now Malami has went ahead to purchase his own judgement
BREAKING: Malami Orders FG To Remove Section 84(12) From Electoral Act…
The electoral Act that took them several months before assent now Malami decided to be deleting it one after the other for his own personal benefit. Nigeria is progressing in error everyday by day.
NASS should appeal the judgement. A better way out.
They don't have such power my friend
These politicians are too selfish, let's see if they will remove the sanction
How I wish the speed used to remove section 84(12) from the the electoral act be used to dispense justice I'm criminal and all forms of justice in Nigeria. Justice delayed is justice denied
How can this be done Hassanlabir Bexibecks_
Country of drama. Does FG by extension this desperate Malami has the power to remove or add any section of an act of parliament? You want to be the executive and legislative arm of government at the same time. Shameless people
Court can do that? Nigeria is a circus 🎪
That's how they make the judiciary a laughing stock in the case of if they should remove a sitting governor who defected from a party to another. Now, whichever one that happens is based on who and who are involved because there's no unambiguous precedence
No need for the national assembly
How can court order federal government, that's executive? Who makes law?
The order is dead on arrival.
Dem won start wetin dem no fit finish
Which court gave this order Why will a court give an order against the wish of the general public because of some set of selfish individual Nigerian judiciary has been ridicule to a mere despair
make NASS kuku close na, make court dey decide
I thinks legislators are to legislate and prepare the law of a country and lawyers are to interpret and protect the law..But judiciary are working in place of legislators.. Nigeria is all about power! Power!!
Hahahahhahaha,I love the drama this country is
Now this is the reason they wanted section 84(12) to be removed. Malami wants to still be displaying his powers. Even when contesting. Since na you own shop na with speed they go handle your case.
The National Assembly can't make laws in this country if this comes to stand. Wao
FG Just Show Us that there's Always a Way...🇳🇬
If everyone is just lakadis, who can make Nigeria a better place.
Gud
Mallami is not possible u no go become kebi Governor
What does the act entails?
Now, let the roforofo fight begin Round 2, gbagaunnnnnn.................
Even Malami won't dare to
What does this mean?
Malami at work. Shame on that judge. See why we cannot progress. For thier selfish reasons they want dis good legislation to be removed. Shame on MALAMI.
Jankara court
Malami and his gang doing the wonders in the presidency. Aso Rock has spoken, the general public will have the final say
'Malami order court to order FG to remove Section 84 (12) from Electoral Act.'
