Ambrose Owuru, a past presidential candidate and constitutional lawyer who ran for the presidency under the platform of the Hope Democratic Party in 2019, has filed a fresh motion on notice to stop the inauguration of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s next President on May 29.
The suit marked CA/CV/259/2023 was instituted
Tuesday at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
Listed as respondents in the motion on notice
are President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the Independent National Electoral
Commission as 1st to 3rd respondents respectively.
Owuru in the suit is praying the Court of
Appeal to prohibit President Buhari, the AGF and INEC from inaugurating the
2023 President-elect on May 29, claiming that he was the valid winner of the
2019 election and had not spent his tenure as required by law.
“An order of prohibitory injunction
compelling Buhari, AGF and INEC, their servants, agents and privies to preserve
and give due cognizance and abstain from any further undertaking or engaging in
any act of usurpation of adjudged acquired Constitutional rights and mandate as
winner of the 2019 presidential election,” the suit partly read.
