Court Dismisses Suit Seeking To Sack Buhari
A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to sack President Muhammadu Buhari from office.
The suit was filed by Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru, a former presidential candidate of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP) against the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, in the 2019 presidential election
Owuru had, in the suit, applied for an order of the court to declare the presidential seat vacant and swear him in as the authentic winner of that election.
The suit was thrown out by Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo on three major grounds, on Monday.
Parts of the grounds are that the suit constituted a gross abuse of court process, statute barred and was an affront to the supremacy of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Besides, Justice Ekwo held that the suit was baseless, frivolous, irritating and vexatious in its entirety.
