May 29 : Appeal Court Fines Ex-Presidential Candidate N40mln for Filing Suit To Stop Inauguration of Tinubu
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

Abuja – The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Thursday fined a former presidential candidate, Ambrose Owuru, N40m for filing a frivolous suit to stop the May 29 inauguration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President of Nigeria.

The Court presided over by Justice Jamil Tukur ordered Owuru to pay N10m each to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney -General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Tinubu.

Tukur, who read the lead judgment of the three-man panel of the court, held that Owuru embarked on a gross abuse of court process by filing a frivolous, suit to provoke the respondents.

The court held that the grievances of Owuru against the 2019 presidential election was not only strange but uncalled for because the grievances had been pursued up to Supreme Court and was dismissed for want of merit.

Tukur said that the action of Owuru to resuscitate the case that died since 2019 at the Supreme Court, was aimed at making the lower courts to go on collision course with supremacy of the Apex Court.

Owuru, a presidential candidate of the defunct political party, Hope Democratic Party (HDP) in the 2019 presidential election had prayed the Court of Appeal Abuja to prohibit Buhari, Malami and INEC from inaugurating the President-elect on May 29.

Owuru predicated his grouse against inauguration of Tinubu or anybody else as successor to Buhari on the ground that he is the constitutionally adjudged winner of the 2019 election and has not spent his tenure as required by law.

Among others, Owuru insisted that Buhari has been usurping his tenure of office since 2019 because the Supreme Court has not determined his petition filed in 2019 in which he challenged the purported declaration of Buhari as the election winner.

He also applied for another order directing and placing on notice that any form of handover inauguration, organized and Superintended by Buhari on May 29, 2023 outside the adjudged winner of the 2019 presidential election, subject of the pending appeal, remains as an “interim place holder” administration pending the hearing and determination of his substantive appeal on constitutional interpretation thereof.(vitalnewsngr.com)
