President Muhammadu Buhari has told a Federal High Court in Abuja that he did not order the Senate to remove the contentious Section 84 (12) from the amended Electoral Act, 2022.
The President says he only expressed reservations and concerns in respect of the aspect of the Electoral Act.
President Buhari and Malami – a Senior Advocate of Nigeria debunked the claims by the main opposition party in the suit.
The AGF explained that the President, on February 25, 2022, gave proper, full, and unconditional assent to the amended Electoral Act.
The defendants averred that the claims of PDP in its suit against them on the Electoral Act were totally false and replete with gross untruths aimed at misleading the court to give judgment against them.
