Supreme Court Orders NASS, FG To Maintain Status Quo Over Constitution Amendment
The
Supreme Court, Nigeria’s apex court, Thursday, ordered the Federal
Government and the National Assembly to maintain status quo in a suit
filed by Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, on the constitution
amendment exercise carried out by the National Assembly.
The
Federal Government had dragged the lawmakers before the Supreme Court,
after President Jonathan vetoed the amendments carried out by both
chambers of the National Assembly, citing irregularities in the process
that led to the amendments.
The President also queried the rationale behind the
whittling down of the powers vested in the executive and allegedly
transferred to the legislature.
