Presidency governors have power to dethrone traditional rulers

I think there may be some confusion here.

In Nigeria, the presidency and governors do not have the power to dethrone traditional rulers. Traditional rulers, also known as monarchs or chiefs, are the heads of traditional kingdoms, empires, or communities, and their positions are governed by custom, tradition, and cultural practices.

In Nigeria, the traditional institutions are recognized and protected by the Constitution, which guarantees the autonomy and independence of traditional rulers. The Constitution also provides for the recognition and protection of the rights and privileges of traditional rulers.

The presidency and governors have no constitutional power to dethrone traditional rulers. Any attempt to do so would be unconstitutional and would likely be challenged in court.

In fact, the Constitution provides that traditional rulers shall be respected and protected, and that their powers and privileges shall be recognized and respected. (Section 6(6)(c) of the Constitution)

Additionally, the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO) Act, which is a federal law, provides for the recognition and protection of traditional institutions and the rights of traditional rulers.

It's important to note that traditional rulers are not subject to the whims and caprices of the presidency or governors. They are independent and autonomous, and their powers and privileges are derived from their traditional roles and customs.

In summary, the presidency and governors do not have the power to dethrone traditional rulers in Nigeria. Any attempt to do so would be unconstitutional and would likely be challenged in court.
