UPDATES AT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL TODAY FRIDAY, 9TH JUNE 2023 (DAY 9 OF HEARING)

Good afternoon & welcome to Live Updates from PEPT.

Are you set? What are your expectations?

#LiveFromPEPT Image
This is very unlikely... The Justices are not here, even though the proceedings was slated for 3pm today.

However, I'm worried that Peter Obi now comes to court earlier than me... I'm beginning to feel like I'm not serious about this my mandate.

#LiveFromPEPT
Well, 38 minutes away from 3pm, and the Justices are here...

COURT!

HERE WE GO!

Since @NaaYouSabi brought this tweet to my attention...

The position argued by @ipcjustice is not the correct position of the law.

As far as the 10th Assembly have not taken office (June 13th), the 9th Assembly remain the legitimate legislature to make laws in Nigeria.
What the law envisages in Section 58 CFRN is that, for a bill to become law, there must be concurrence of both the Senate and the House of Reps. That is, the bill must be passed concurrently by both houses of NASS.

Once the president signs this bill, it becomes law.
In simpler terms, 3 structures makes a bill become law.

- Senate must pass the bill
- House of Reps must pass the bill
- President must sign the bill

Where these three play this role, a bill will become a law, passed and assented to.

He's on my check list of pictures today. I came late & couldn't give you all the live photos. Image
