Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s letter to the National Assembly seeking amendment of Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, 2022 was in bad faith.
Speaking during an interview with newsmen, Governor Wike insisted that by faulting Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act, the President was taking the powers of the Judiciary to interpret the law.
The Governor maintained that the President lacks the power to determine whether Section 84(12), which he claims will disenfranchise serving political office holders, conflict with provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
