Justice
Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed an
ex-parte application seeking to stop the swearing-in of President-elect
He said: "In law, an ex-parte application seeking an order of
injunction presupposes the existence of a real case of urgency not
self-induced urgency.
"Motion ex-parte dated and filed on 26 of May, is a clear case of self-induced urgency.
"This court is therefore of the view that the plaintiff applicant's
motion dated and filed on May 26 is devoid of any merit and the same is
accordingly dismissed", Justice Mohammed declared.
He adjourned the suit till June 26 for further mention.
The court also ordered the applicant to serve all originating processes and hearing notice on the defendants.
It will be recalled that the applicant, the Incorporated Trustees of
Advocacy for Societal Rights Advancement and Development Initiative had
applied to the Federal High Court in Abuja to stop the Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed from swearing the president-elect
In a suit filed by its lawyer, Mr Philip Ekpo, the group said that
Buhari did not meet the qualification enshrined in the 1999 Constitution
and the Electoral Act to have contested the position of the president
of Nigeria at the 2015 general elections.
Even though
Thursday's application was ex-parte, Chief Lateef Fagbemi , SAN leading
two other Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Chief Akin Olujimi and Kola
Awodein announced memorandum of conditional appearance for Mohammadu
Buhari.
