Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, some political leaders from the South-East have dragged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Character Commission to court.

Also joined as defendants are the Federal Character Commission, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The plaintiffs are before a Federal High Court sitting in Enugu seeking an order of court to compel the respondents to zone the presidential ticket to the South-East.

Akelicious reports that the suit was filed by Rev. Okechukwu Obioha, the National Coordinator, South-East for President 2023 and some other members of the PDP, APC and other citizens of Nigeria from the South-East zone.

They want the court to compel PDP and APC to zone their presidential candidates in the 2023 general elections to the South-East zone for equity, justice and fairness.

Among other things, the plaintiffs are asking the court to determine “whether having regard to the extant provisions of Sections 14 (3) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) and Section 4(1)(b) of the Federal Character Commission (Establishment Act) of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, is the defendant not mandated to ensure and compel the 4th and 5th defendants to zone the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the South-East zone in 2023 as a way of ensuring proportional sharing of the office.”

They also sought an order restraining the INEC “from accepting, recognizing or publishing the presidential nomination or candidatures of any of the PDP and APC from the forthcoming 2023 general elections except such a nomination or candidate emanates from persons from South-East zone, Federal Republic of Nigeria and of no other.”

What's the need?

Sue for division instead.

Ok

Was this how the north sued Jonathan just to zone presidency to their region? This is madness! This Rev. Okechukwu Obioha is obviously jobless! Actions of some people shame me!

Foolishness. Instead of dragging them to court for recruitment done everywhere devoid of the constitutionally mandated federal character, they are dragging them to court for a non constitutionally mandated power rotation.

People are dying, this one's are more interested in power

Under which law? The one the Fulani presidency is above or which one?

They talking about federal character, when every other thing, including democracy has died. They better start working towards referendum.

Most South East politicians fighting for Nigerias presidency are actually fighting for their political lives and political relevance. They know very well that they will amount to nothing under any emerging new republic from the East. Taking into cognizance, their odious reputation, it's obvious that they only way they can still dominate politics in this area is to hang on to the apron strings of a corrupt state like Nigeria. You can't be running faster than the people you lead as a politician. Majority of the people have told them what they want and they know.. Do who are they working for in Nigeria?

I didn't care to read the post because I know it is useless. How will you charge Buhari to court? Is he the one who appoints Presidents? Why are this people so daft. It is very simple, put your acts together. South East have alot of money and lots of well to do people in the society but they lack UNITY. They are too envious of each other. You think being a President is by appointment? Always wanting to do it on their own and show that they can do it without anyone. You guys don't have single unity. So forget the about President now. Untill you stop insulting Buhari, Northerners and also the Yoruba race it will be difficult for you now. You can't insult the living dead out of me and expect me to support.

Buhari is always their nightmare. Your nightmare for now is the terrorist organization IPOB. They are on a killing spree right now. Tame your nightmare first. You think the president will even come to you by the attitude of IPOB-ESN?

With the current state of killing in Nigeria, if the President goes Southeast, Nigeria will be worst than Afghanistan.

Nobody is going anywhere. We are ONE NIGERIA.

Sense is not common in this man case.court can even make him pay for damage for turning the court of law to huge joke .igbo people self. Also this case will finally buried the clamoring for igbo presidency.

Presidency is between North and South and not between the six fake regions. If not, North East and North Central will say it is their turn.

Igbos should not try to do it alone, let's do it together as Southerners.

Presidency must come to the South. Once zoned to the South, we will sort out which Southern region get it. But, I think Igbos deserve to have taste of the seat

I don't care if it goes to the Igbos, the Ijaws, the Kalabaris, the Yorubas, the Efiks, the Itshekiri or the Urhobos. It must come to the South, or else, no Nigeria again.

Anybody from the South that supports a Northern Almajari in 2023 is a traitor and traitors die miserably

For more Jokes........

Noted

I don't even know what Igbos want.

Well-done fools.

Nyamiris and jokes

Comedy skit, if true, the order sought to compel parties to zone the ticket to SE will be thrown out without merit.

Only federal character commission issues might go to trial.

IPOB route and ESN killings has failed to sway anyone to zone presidential ticket to SE so they must change strategy

This is display of ignorance and confusion in the side of these Igbos.when is it now the responsibility of court of law to determine who becomes president or Flagg bearer of any political party toward election? Poeples will choose in their party and general public determine who is winer. Sorry Federal character mention appointment not elective position.
