The Supreme court has fixed May 26 to hear a suit filed by President Muhammadu Buhari and Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, voiding the provisions of Section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022.The National Assembly is listed as the sole defendant in the suit.The law bars political appointees like Malami from seeking elective public office or voting as delegates in a party primary unless they resign their positions.

Buhari and Malami had in the suit marked SC/CV/504/2022 and filed on April 29, 2022, removed the clause in the electoral act.The duo told the apex court that the Section 84 of the Electoral Act, 2022 is inconsistent with the provisions of sections 42, 65, 66, 106, 107, 131, 137, 147, 151, 177, 182, 192 and 196 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, , as well Article 2 of the African Charter on Human and People and Peoples Rights.

The National Assembly has, however, asked the Supreme Court of Nigeria to strike out the suit instituted by Buhari and Malami over Section 84 of the Electoral Act, 2022.President Buhari had on February 25, 2022, signed the electoral bill into law with a caveat that the section should be deleted in order to deepen democracy in the country.But the National Assembly in March threw out the President’s request and insisted that serving political appointees must resign before contesting elections.

By going to court Bihari & Malami does not respect Nigerian constitution .
