Court To Hear Suit Seeking Buhari’s Removal From Office Monday | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Abuja– Federal High Court will deliver a landmark judgment on January 30 in a suit seeking the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari from office.

The suit was on account of alleged illegalities in the 2019 presidential election.

Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo would also resolve a request seeking to stop the conduct of the 2023 Presidential election.

A notice for the judgment delivery stated that the verdict would be handed down by 9 am on Monday by Justice Ekwo.

The notice was directly served on the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice as the Chief Law Officer of the Federation for President Buhari.

A Presidential candidate in the 2019 election on the platform of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Ambrose Albert Owuru instituted legal action against Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Owuru asked the court to determine the legality or otherwise of INEC’s decision in 2019 during which it shifted the election from February 16 to March 23, 2019.

According to him, INEC acted against the constitution in illegal and unlawful ways and manners the presidential poll was shifted and the declaration of Buhari as a winner of the unlawful act should be declared null and void and of no effect.

Owuru, a British-trained constitutional lawyer and called to the Nigerian Bar in 1984, however, asked the Federal High Court to declare him the winner of the poll.

The ground of his claim was predicated on the fact that the petition he lodged against Buhari had not been adjudicated upon by the Supreme Court as required by law.

The politician claimed that his petition at the Supreme Court was unjustly dismissed following his absence from the Apex Court occasioned by discrepancies in the hearing dates conveyed to him.

The suer prayed the court remove Buhari and declare him (Owuru) the authentic President and that Buhari should be compelled to refund all monies he collected as salaries, emoluments, and security votes.

The HDP Presidential candidate also asked the court to order his inauguration for a four-year tenure of office upon removal of Buhari from office and that the Federal High Court should stop INEC from conducting the 2023 presidential election.

Recall that Justice Ekwo had on November 4 2022 fixed January 30 as the judgment date following the adoption of final addresses by Buhari, Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the plaintiff, Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru.
