The Federal Government says it is yet to take any position on the Senate’s refusal to consider the request by President Muhammadu Buhari to delete section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, 2022.
The government said it will exploit all options available concerning the contentious section of the Act.
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said this while fielding questions at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.
He said the government has three options available to it following the National Assembly’s turning down of the president’s request including asking again for a reconsideration, approaching the court or accepting the law as it is.

Also speaking of the extradition request by the United States government on DCP Abba Kyari, Malami, lamented that there has been a misconception on the issue, arguing that the request is still being processed.
He regretted what he called the misunderstanding created around the issue by the media, urging them to get a grip of the facts to avoid creating confusion.
