A Lagos-based Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, has said that the absence of a deputy during Wednesday’s inauguration of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the governor of Kogi State did not affect the validity of Bello’s inauguration at all.
Pinheiro, who was reacting to the situation in a telephone interview said the fact that Bello did not contest the election in the first place revealed the lacuna in the constitution.
According to him, the absence of a deputy has not affected the validity of the inauguration at all.
But constitutional lawyer, James Ezike thought otherwise, describing the action as an aberration and demonstration of an end to an era.
To the lawyer, there is nothing about the present government that is constitutional.
