The Red Chamber of the National Assembly said yesterday that it was yet to be served with details of the court case.

The contentious section stipulates that “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”
Contacted yesterday to react to the court ruling, Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Ajibola Basiru, declined comments, saying he could not give an opinion based on media reports.
His words: “I’m not aware of the suit and whether the National Assembly was a party or was served and/or represented.
“I have also not seen or read the judgment or whether the National Assembly has been served with the judgment or any order of court.
“I cannot react to newspaper reports of court judgment without seeing the actual court judgment.”
