The Supreme Court has dismissed a suit brought against the
National Assembly challenging the legality of the controversial section 84 (12)
of the Electoral Act 2022.
The Apex Court held that Buhari, having assented to the
Electoral Bill on February 25, 2022, has no power to turn around to challenge
the legality of the Electoral Act.
In a judgment prepared and just delivered by Justice
Emmanuel Akomaye Agim, the action of Buhari in instituting the case was
declared as a gross abuse of court.
The Apex Court said that the President by the suit sought to
approbate and reprobate at the same time and that such must not be allowed.
Besides, the court held that Buhari had no power under any
law to dictate to the National Assembly on law making.
The unanimous verdict held that Buhari having participated
in the making of the Electoral Act by his assent, lacked Constitutional Powers
to come up to challenge same.
