Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of he federation , says the federal government will effect a judgment which ordered the removal of section 84 of the amended Electoral Act, 2022.He, however, asked the national assembly to delete section 84 of the act, which reads: “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.
Subsequently, the AGF said the federal government will consider all other options available before taking a position on the matter. Delivering a ruling on Friday in a suit marked FHC/UM/CS/26/2022, Evelyn Anyadike, the presiding judge, held that the section was unconstitutional.
The FG should not do this. The judiciary and the executive do not have democratic authority to make or delete laws.
I believe that only the NASS has powers to make& amend laws. Malami who is pursuing selfish interest is obviously behind this. Neither judiciary nor executive can amend laws. The section doesn't violate any rights of appointees as option of resignation to fully participate exists
I'm sure an appeal will forestall the process. I'm wondering how Buhari read this document for years and did not see this section.
Thieves
But will not effect other courts ruling, like that of Ebonyi state Governor’s sack ? Etc
When has Mr Malami been acting on high court rulings with this speed of light? Is it bc he is involved. Govt is not run for personal n selfish reasons.
Bcos it will favour u abi?
I wonder the party that will be stupid enough to throw away their chance at an office by allowing this mumu run for any office based on this trash.
I love the way my able follow citizens responding to this tweet. 🥰
Abeg how can a Court ruling change a Law made my Representatives of the Law itself .?
Why won't you? Isn't it of benefit to you? List one thing that favours majority of Nigerians that you and your Boss have effected promptly.
OfficialPDPNig file an appeal asap 👍🏻
nassnigeria femigbaja DrAhmadLawan HouseNGR what is going on? Isn’t this a direct affront on your law making powers & independence 🥺🤔
Malami is meant to be a lawyer🤣🤣
The court now makes law abi? Malami is a huge joke
SANsan. Why didn’t you effect the removal of Ebonyi Gov. as the court stated immediately?
President Buhari should send amendment to. national Assembly and use every available means to lobby for it's passage. Anything away from this Is trash
Gentlemen, I ask again: Who the hell is Malami? If nassnigeria don't put this dude in his place, ASAP, they can as well be considered what Emeritus Professor of Mass Communications, Ralph Akinfele, in his 2003 Inaugural Lecture, called 'The National Ashamebly.'
The judgment will not see light of the day I hereby appeal the judgment to appeal court. An appointee can't be allowed to waste the resources of a ministry, state or federal parastatal or development agencies.
Absolutely. The lawmakers, in bid to score political points and win electoral advantages forgot that the construction is the grand norm of the country. And that any legislation, to the extent it is inconsistent with the construction, is null and void.
Kangaroo court injunction
Malami is the president defactor
OlumideAkpata over to you and the NBA.
Which constitutional provision empowers executives to edit duly passed legislative act? Meanwhile anyhowness is fully approved by our reckless executive.
We understand everything about the struggle of minister of justice and Buhari in changing the electoral act signed recently by the president.. You remain a minister and contesting to be a governor at the same time..
Executive should know that it is not the duty of court to amend the laws made by the prelimintaria if they don't know, the duty of the court is to implement the law while prelimintaria make law. So executive should beware of their actions.
Just curious, what is the Job of the NBA in this country🤔🤔🤔 Abi na only when Umahi goof dem dey turn errand boys🤔🤔
How?
Lol, on a good day this Gov't would not regard any ruling from Federal High Court Umuahia but since this one is to their favour it will be executed with immediate effect. If Anambra can heave a sigh of relief yesterday, its a matter of time Nigeria will too.
Malami wants to be governor to enjoy immunity that all the atrocities he committed against Nigerians he won't go the the way of order former attorneys.
When I tell people that this is the man ruling Nigeria some get it
The law is very swift to serve the interest of the ruling class especially the Hegemonic dominant faction of that class in Nigeria. This tug of war contingent on the current 2023 political selection process would be most defining..... keep watching folks.
My question is, how did Malami become a SAN?
Niger's problems are always coming from the North. Who cursed these guys?
So fast ? Didn't know Nigeria can act so fast to effect court judgement,when Ebonyi is still there to carried out
Why is Malami so in haze to delete the section of the constitution. Wont the case get to appeal court then supreme court? How he ever became the AGF shows the illiterate we have as NGRPresident.
Malami is actually the worst AGF since independence. 😂
Aren't you surprised? 😂 Malami APGA ANAMBRA Bianca Buni APC Section 84
FedMinOfJustice The jungle judgement by a sold out political judge is a scam. Hence, for that amended section to be scrap it has to follow the principle of separation of power. By the way, the judiciary are to interpret the law but not to play politics with our Constitution.
For those who can't open the link
Nothing you will not hear in nigeria under B.uhari and Malami
The judiciary won’t give the legitimate power of law making to itself either. This also is why democracy is the best form of governance
We dey look how this judgement will stand
The executive can’t make. This is the beauty of democracy
This breaking news sounds echo in my ear
Is this possible even by court order? And for a high court judgement an appeal is expected
So fast.😏
So the court/ Judiciary can actually tell the legislative arm what law to make or not? I nor understand again oh
Without waiting for Appeal and Supreme Court Decisions? What kind of Aboki SAN is this?
Why’s the link not working
Malami's SAN is questionable.
This country 🇳🇬 is just a joke.
Very selfish people are currently in charge of government
What are they trying to delete again
Lawyer ìn the house watin section 84 talk
