Femi Falana: Nigerian President Has No Right Over Landed Property, Says Senior Advocate

Femi Falana, a prominent Nigerian lawyer, emphasized during an interview on Channel Television that the President of Nigeria does not possess the authority over landed property based on the country's legal framework. He highlighted that the Constitution explicitly states that matters concerning land use, planning, and military approvals fall under the jurisdiction of states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), not the President.

This assertion challenges the traditional understanding of presidential powers in Nigeria's governance structure.
