Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has accused the National Assembly of disregarding constitutional provisions. In an interview on Arise Television, Amadi argued that democracy relies on representatives to deliberate and decide on issues as the voice of the citizens. He expressed concern over the ease with which the National Assembly overrides constitutional provisions, noting that the National Assembly is largely composed of members of the ruling party who support the president's agenda.
Amadi stated that members of the National Assembly are precluded from fulfilling their fundamental duty of choosing and voting on bills, thereby undermining democracy. He highlighted the irony of criticizing coup attempts while enabling an overthrow of democracy through reckless disregard for the constitution.
