A suit seeking the prohibition of Bola Ahmed Tinubu from being inaugurated as Nigeria’s next President on May 29th was instituted on Tuesday at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The suit is by a presidential candidate in the 2019 elections Ambrose Owuru and his political party, Hope Democratic Party. Owuru, a constitutional lawyer, is praying the Court prohibits President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Independent National Electoral Commission from swearing in the President-elect.
Owuru insists that President Buhari has been usurping his tenure of office since the Supreme Court has not determined his petition filed in 2019, challenging the declaration of Buhari as the winner of the 2019 Presidential election.
The development is coming as the apex Igbo Socio-Cultural Organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo hasaccused the Bola Ahmed Tinubu of discrimination, following the non-inclusion of an Igbo person in the 14- member committee inauguration set up by Tinubu for the May 29th handover activities.
The National Vice President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, described Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a tribalist, who has Igbophobia in his veins adding that Tinubu inherited the Igbo hatred from the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
