The Last Episode of the Vetoed Constitution Amendment Bill; 7th Assembly & GEJ

This Constitution amendment is a formal change to the original text in the already written down Nigerian Constitution. A super majority is needed to amend the Constitution, after such bill has gone through an extensive and exhaustive process in both Houses, it is sent to the State Houses of Assembly where a vote of simple majority in 24 States is required for each amendment to be completed. Following this stringent process the amendment bill is harmonized by the National Assembly and a clean bill is forwarded to President for his assent. Well, in this case the President withholds his assent and proceeded to court in order to prevent the National Assembly from overriding his veto.
