Ghani vs FRN

the originating summons pages 5-6 of the record of
appeal that the 3rd respondent earns a basic salary
of 247,000.00 Dollars per annum which in Nigeria
currency and at today's exchange rate is about 36
Million Naira while the 4th respondent earns a basic
salary of 20,000 Dollars which amounts to about 17
Million Naira per annum.
Learned counsel for the appellant argued that since
these payments contravene the specific law made
for such purpose pursuant to the Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, it amounts to
illegality and therefore unconstitutional.

Learned counsel contended that if the appellant,
who has a civil obligation and a right to uphold the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
cannot move the court to pronounce on the breach
of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, who else can?
He posed the question whether it is being
suggested that it is the Government that will sue
itself or rather the Attorney-General that will sue
the Government and consequently sue himself
where there is a breach by the Executive? Or when
there are breaches of the Constitution and Law
made pursuant to specific provisions of the
Constitution by government, who has the locus to
complain to the Court about such breaches of the
Constitution and that Law made pursuant to the
specific provision of the Constitution.
