Minister of justice and attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami has stated that the federal government is considering all options following the senate’s rejection of President Muhammadu Buhari’s request on the Electoral Act, 2022.<\/p>\n

Recall that Buhari on February 25 signed the\u00a0electoral act amendment bill into law and he asked the national assembly to delete clause 84(12), which he said disenfranchises political appointees.<\/p>\n

The president later sent a formal request to the national assembly seeking the removal of the clause.<\/p>\n

The contentious section reads: \u201cNo political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upper legislative chamber last Wednesday rejected the\u00a0bill through a voice vote when it was tabled to be read a second time.<\/p>\n

Malami addressed the issue on Wednesday while responding to questions at the end of the federal executive council (FEC) meeting.<\/p>\n

He said the government has three options; make another request for reconsideration, approach the court, or accept the law as it is.<\/p>\n

Malami affirmed that while it is the responsibility of the lawmakers to legislate, the federal government will exploit all options available \u2014 if it becomes necessary.<\/p>\n

The attorney-general said the federal government is yet to take a conclusive stand on the direction of its eventual decision.<\/p>\n

Malami also spoke on the case of Abba Kyari, the suspended deputy commissioner of police (DCP) who is facing drug-related charges.<\/p>\n

He said the extradition request by the US is still being processed while lamenting the misconceptions surrounding the case.<\/p>\n

The US had requested the extradition of Kyari over his alleged link to Ramon Abbas, the self-confessed international fraudster better known as Hushpuppi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
