The Supreme Court has joined Rivers State in President Muhammadu Buhari’s suit against Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, as a Hearing in the suit has been fixed for May the 26th.
Justice Muhammad Dattijo adjourned the matter following the concession by Buhari’s lawyer Lateef Fagbemi that the speaker, Rivers State House of Assembly, and Attorney General, Rivers State, be joined as parties.
President Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami, had filed a suit at the Supreme Court, seeking an interpretation of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Amendment Act 2022.
