A group, Advocacy for Societal Rights Advancement and Development Initiative,has filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to stop the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, from swearing the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari in.
The suit is also seeking an order to nullify the certificate of return issued to Buhari by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The suit is also seeking an order to nullify the certificate of return issued to Buhari by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
They filed the suit on the allegation that Buhari did not qualify to contest the presidential election because he gave false information about his academic qualification to INEC.
The Group's lawyer, Mr. Philip Ekpo, alleged that Buhari did not meet the qualification in the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act to stand for the March 28, 2015 presidential election.
Buhari, INEC, the CJN are the 1st to the 3rd respondents in the suit respectively.
The group wants an order of interim injunction restraining the CJN “or any person acting in his capacity” from swearing in Buhari as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29, 2015 or any other date thereof pending the determination of the motion on notice.
The suits declares states that the plaintiff seeks among other orders,
“A declaration that the 3rd defendant be stopped from swearing in the 1st defendant as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as the issue of perjury involving the 1st defendant has not been resolved.
“An order restraining the 3rd defendant or any person appointed for such purpose from swearing in the 1st defendant as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29, 2015 or any future dates whatsoever for giving false information to the 2nd respondent on oath.
“An order annulling the Certificate of Return given to the 1st defendant by the 2nd defendant.”
“The 1st respondent (Buhari) gave false information in the affidavit he presented to the 2nd respondent (INEC) and on the strength of which he contested and purportedly won the presidential election which was conducted by the 2nd respondent on March 28, 2015.
“The 1st respondent deposed to an affidavit dated November 24, 2014 that his West African School Leaving Certificate is in the custody of the Secretary to the Military Board.
“The Nigerian Army on January 20, 2015, said that in the personal file of the 1st respondent with the Nigerian Army, they do not have the original copy of his West African School Leaving Certificate nor does the Nigerian Army have the Certified True Copy of his WASC results neither do they have a photocopy of the said result.
“The 1st respondent has not met the qualifications enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act, Cap E6, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2010 (as amended) to have contested the position of President of Nigeria at the 2015 general elections.
“That the authority conferred by Section 140 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) on the 3rd respondent to administer oath of office to any person who will occupy the office of the President of Nigeria cannot be exercised in respect of the 1st respondent who has not fulfilled the requirements of the same constitution and the Electoral Act as it relates to his eligibility to occupy the office of President of Nigeria.”
The case is still pending as it has not been assigned to any judge.
Punch.

What is the problem with these busy body agents of Satan who are not happy that Nigeria is peaceful. I decreed that individual or group of individuals who wants to plug the country into confusion, Holy Ghost fire will plug their life and their families into endless crisis IJN.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
Ignorance can be blissful sometimes.
...and that is where it will die naturally. On a serious note, people need to get their heads out of their butts. Are we still on this certificate issue. Would love to see this stupid spokesman face to face.
These people are jokers. If his certificate wasn't withheld by the military in the first instance, all these drama wouldn't spring up.

Who are these morons? So they're now wiser than GEJ who conceeded for defeat? Or they are not pleased with the peace Nigeria has today? Are they unhappy our country is about to have a fresh start? There's no surprise the goons and cabals that has held Nigeria to ransom are yet to throw in the towel. Pls they should show their faces to Nigerians and see if the masses won't strangle them to death. As they wish Nigeria chaos and death, may the same follow them ,no matter how many they are.
