Court Restrains Mai Mala Buni From Inaugurating Factional Bauchi Executive

Bauchi State High Court has issued an interim order restraining the Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress from inaugurating the recently elected Babayo Aliyu Misau-led executive members in the state.

A copy of the interim injunction issued last week by the court restrained Buni, who is also Governor of Yobe State; Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu; and former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara from administering the oath of office on Misau and his backroom ‘recognition’ as Bauchi APC leaders.

The court further ordered Misau and others elected as party executive members recently in the state to stop “parading themselves in whatsoever manners or means and or acting in whatever capacities or names called as Bauchi State executive officers of APC pending the hearing of the substantive suit filed”.

Civil Society Organisation Tells National Assembly To Veto President Buhari On Electoral Reform Bill

The Organization for Community Civic Engagement has said the National Assembly must veto the Electoral Reform Bill 2021 if President Muhammadu Buhari refuses to sign it, threatening to go to court if the assembly does not act.

The group accused President Buhari of applying delay tactics in signing the Bill just as he did in 2019 which compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the 2010 Electoral Act in the conduct of the election, despite its deficiencies.

Speaking to newsmen in Kano, the Executive Director of Occen, Abdulrazak Alkali, said, “the National Assembly has done a wonderful job and this is the first time that the legislature, the CSOs and the generalities of Nigerians are on the same page.

He said the President needs to do away with the selfish interests of some Nigerian politicians and focus on what is in the best interests of Nigeria and its citizens.

Also speaking on the issue on a monitored Programme, Executive Director of Yiaga Africa, Samson Itodo said it is taking too long for the president to sign.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said his principal is currently consulting with all stakeholders, including the Independent National Electoral Commission before making his position known on the issue.
