National Assembly. Change in Election Time Table

BASE ON CHANGE IN ELECTION TIME-TABLE

     The issue on ground concerning changes made by the NASS on election timetable. I think this issue shouldn't cause much problem in the mind of peoples because ours is to perform our franchise for the qualitative and credible leader of ours.

   I think in 1979, when we elected the first executive president, Alhaji Usman Aliyu Sheu Shagari when electoral body called FEDECO wasn't an independent body under the leadership of Michael Ani, presidential election came first.

    However , in 1983 when FEDECO chairman was Ovie Whiskey, there was change in election time table. For such to happen in the past in which electoral body was dependent then I think we shouldn't weary of changes that has made on election timetable.

   Mind you, constitution of 1999 stated that electoral body should be independent but has to pass through NASS for recommendations and screening. For the fact that NASS still have power to accept and reject anybody present by executive for an appointment, I think NASS has the privileged to use veto on INEC because they can use it on executive. But the issue is that by going through normal protocol, INEC is to conduct election, draw the timetable, dividing country into constituency and all the likes, I think if they can't decide themselves, judiciary should shield light on this issue because they are the interpreters.

    Moreover, powers of NASS is to accept, reject,  and screening but not to decide for INEC on method to use in conducting election but NASS still supersede.

    Inconclusive, no matter how it may be the judiciary should step in and clear the odour on ground. But in my own perspective, NASS supersede.
