 A President, Mohamed Buhari and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, have asked the Supreme Court to warrant the provision of Section 84, Subsection 12 of the Electoral Act 2022. Their request is contained in a suit they found on the 29th of April, before the Court threw a group of private lawyers, including Latif Bagbimi, hired by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation. The suit has the National Assembly as a sole defendant. On May 11, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court in Umar here, which voided the provision of Section 84, Subsection 12 of the Electoral Act. The panel, headed by Justice Hamma Aqaw Barqa, held that the FHC had no jurisdiction to have entertained the case, because the plaintiff, Nduka Edede, lacked the local standard to have filed a suit in the first place.
