Appeal court upholds national assembly bill seeking to reorder 2019 elections

I think there may be some confusion here. The National Assembly of Nigeria did not pass a bill seeking to reorder the 2019 elections. In fact, the 2019 general elections in Nigeria were conducted as scheduled and the results were announced.

However, I believe you may be referring to a controversy surrounding the sequence of elections in Nigeria. In 2018, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced that the 2019 presidential election would be held first, followed by the National Assembly elections, and then the governorship elections.

However, the Senate, led by the then-Senate President Bukola Saraki, passed a bill seeking to reorder the sequence of elections, proposing that the National Assembly elections be held first, followed by the presidential election, and then the governorship elections. The bill was sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence, but it was not passed.

The controversy surrounding the bill led to a court case, which was eventually dismissed by the Federal High Court in Abuja. The court held that the INEC had the power to determine the sequence of elections and that the National Assembly did not have the power to reorder the elections.

It's possible that you are referring to this controversy, but I want to clarify that the National Assembly did not pass a bill seeking to reorder the 2019 elections.
