Sowore’s AAC sues Tinubu, others over failure to transfer power to Shettima
AAC urged the court to declare that Mr Tinubu’s failure to transmit the declaration before proceeding on vacation to Europe from 30 August to 28 September was “undemocratic and a gross violation of the Constitution.” The post Sowore’s AAC sues Tinubu, others over failure to transfer power to Shettima appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
The African Action Congress (AAC) has taken legal action against President Bola Tinubu, the National Assembly, and the Attorney General of the Federation in a Federal High Court in Abuja. The suit, filed over a month ago, claims that Tinubu violated Section 145(1) of the 1999 Constitution by embarking on a month-long vacation in Europe without notifying the National Assembly.
The party seeks a declaration that the President is required to notify the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives before leaving the country for an extended period. The AAC also challenges the National Assembly's alleged failure to pass a resolution allowing the Vice-President to act as President in Tinubu's absence.
