    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is arguable whether we can use the proposed Section 3(A)(2) to suspend the effect of Section 77(4) of the Constitution without making an attempt to make an adjustment to that section. I raise this issue particularly, knowing that even courts in this country have had occasion to make a consideration of the implication of this law and also paying regard to Section 3 of the Constitution that is emphatic: That this Constitution is the supreme law of the land and any other law that contravenes any section of the Constitution must cede supremacy to the Constitution. Indeed, the courts of this country have had occasion to rule on that matter in 1970 in the case of Okunda vs Republic, where the court ruled that the Constitution supersedes all domestic and international law."
