The African Action Congress (AAC) files a lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly, saying Tinubu undertakes a vacation in Europe without first notifying the legislature. The party approaches the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking a court declaration that the action violates Nigeria’s Constitution.
AAC argues the trip breaches Section 145(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which it says requires written notification to the National Assembly before certain executive actions. The Punch and Vanguard both report that the AAC is challenging Tinubu’s compliance with the notification requirement and is bringing the National Assembly into the case. While the outlets focus on the same dispute—absence of prior written notice to NASS—their coverage primarily differs in phrasing and the level of detail on the legal grounds referenced in court filings.
