The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar, has said no arm of government should be allowed to lord over
others.
Atiku was reacting to the Supreme Court judgement which
struck out the suit by President Muhammadu Buhari seeking to void the provision
of section 84 (12) of the Electoral Amendment Act 2022.
The Supreme Court said the President lacked the power to
direct the National Assembly to amend or enact an act, adding that it violated
the principle of separation of power.
According to the judgement, there is no part of the Constitution that makes the exercise of legislative power subject to the directive of the President.
Reacting, Atiku tweeted: “The ruling of the Supreme Court on
Section 84 (12) is commendable.
“It affirms my position of the independence of the judiciary
and the other arms of government, namely the legislature and the executive,
which is the bedrock for the development of any nation.
“Under no circumstance must one arm lord over another arm of
government. -AA”
