With barely 17 days to the scheduled swearing in of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, five residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, have approached the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court for an order to halt the ceremony.
The plaintiffs, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/578/2023, applied for an order, restraining the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, any other judicial officer and/or any other authority or person from swearing in any candidate in the February 25 presidential election as President or Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, until it is judicially determined with finality or in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution that such candidate has fulfilled the requirement of Section 134(2) (b) of the Constitution.
They further want a declaration that, “the plaintiffs and other FCT residents have a legal interest and constitutional rights to be heard on the question of whether a President-elect must secure at least 25% of votes cast, on the first ballot, in the FCT, Abuja.”

“A declaration that no state of the country is at the same time the FCT for any propose whatsoever, including, in particular, under section 134 (2) (b) of the Constitution.
“A declaration that no candidate in the February 25 presidential election in the country may validly be declared elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without that candidate obtaining at least 25% of the votes cast in the FCT, Abuja.
“A declaration that no candidate in the February 25 presidential election may validly be sworn in as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without such candidate having obtained 25% of the votes case in FCT, Abuja.
“A declaration that following the February 25 presidential election and until a successor is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and sworn in, the term of office of his Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, GCON, as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria subsists and endures in accordance with the provisions of section 135 (1) (a) of the Constitution”.
As well as, “An order setting aside or suspending any declaration and/or issuance of a Certificate of a Return to any candidate in the February 25 presidential election in the country as having been elected, save and except it is judicially determined with finality that such candidate fulfilled the conditions stated in section 134(2) (b) of the Constitution.
The five plaintiffs behind the suit, who identified themselves as “registered voters of the FCT, Abuja are; Anyaegbunam Okoye, David Adzer, Jeffery Ucheh, Osang Paul and Chibuike Nwachukwu.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and the CJN were cited in the matter as 1st and 2nd defendants, respectively.

Very interesting times

Check the names of the people that requested it, they are Ibos.

This is the same exact template they used in 1993 for Abiola where they went to get some crazy court order.

What they don’t know this time around is that, Tinubu learnt the game well and we will never lose guard like that again as Yoruba.

No one can stop Bola Tinubu inauguration except Allah.

Anyaegbunam Okoye, David Adzer, Jeffery Ucheh, Osang Paul and Chibuike Nwachukwu

From Alaigbo or FCT?

Check the names of the 5 residents...tell us where they come from.useless unknown residents wanto stop a president.

Below is one of them back then in the 90s called Nzeribe.

He boldly came out to say “No to Yoruba Presidency”.

they have to collect over 8millions signatures before we consider them

And their kinsmen are looking for SP and inclusion.... This people can do better than bitter politics and pull them down characters.

Nsobu nsobu politics again. They will never learn. Effort in futility.

Waste of time. It will be thrown out at the first hearing. South east should stop bringing bad themselves to themselves.

Every body is watching these Igbos.
One thing I know is that Nigerians will not allow Tinubu mandate to be stolen in court.

Thank God they are not heading any of the arms of government.
If not, they would have abused the office.

Sore losers.

May they all labour in vain.

You see what we have been saying about Yorubas. Once you name is neither Hausa nor Yoruba, you are Omo Ibo. So David Adzer and Osang Paul are all Igbos? Minorities make una continue to see Igbos as una enemies
