Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court has
ordered that court documents in a fresh suit seeking to disqualify President
Goodluck Jonathan from seeking re-election in the March 28 poll should be
served on him, Premium Times reports.
The suit, FHC/ABJ/CS/1112/2015, instituted by Nkemjika
Nkemjika was assigned to the court on Friday. The defendants in the suit apart
from Mr. Jonathan are his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
A separate suit had earlier been filed seeking Mr.
Jonathan’s disqualification from the presidential race before the court and another
is also pending at the Court of Appeal.
Buhari's court case' outcome
The All Progressives Congress and its presidential
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, have opposed the orders of a Federal High Court in
Abuja, directing that they be served through substituted means in the suit
challenging Mr. Buhari’s eligibility to stand for the March 28 presidential
poll, Premium Times reports.
The Judge of a Federal High Court Abuja, Adeniyi Ademola,
had in two separate suits challenging Mr. Buhari’s eligibility to contest the
election, last week granted ex parte orders permitting the plaintiffs,
Chukwunweike Okafor and Max Ozoaka, to serve Mr. Buhari and the APC through
newspaper publications.
The court had also granted an order of abridgment of time
within which the defendants must respond to the suits.
The electoral empire, Independent National Electoral
Commission, was also joined in the suit as defendants.
Counsels to Mr. Buhari and the APC informed the court
Monday that they would file applications challenging the competence of the
suits and the entire steps taken so far, including the orders of service
through substituted means.
Their lawyers, Wole Olanipekun and Lateef Fagbemi, urged
the court to adjourn the matter to enable them to file all the necessary
documents.
The judge adjourned the suits to February 23.
HOW I PLANNED TO ROB THE BANK AM WORKING WITH.....SUSPECT
Mr. Saturday Akpan, a cleaner attached to the First City
Monument Bank(FCMB), Creek Road, Apapa, Lagos State, has revealed how his plan
to rob the bank where he works would have sailed through, but for the
stubbornness one of the security guards attached to the bank.
According to the suspect, the guard had agreed to the
plan. But immediately he was allowed to go, he dashed to the nearest police
station. Soon, Akpan and his cronies had become guests at the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos State Police Command.
“We had been planning to rob the bank for a month now,”
said Akpan. “I however know that only one security guard would be a threat to
our plan.”
Unsure of how to handle the guard, Akpan said that he
took his snapshot and tailed him to his girlfriend’s home at Ajegunle. There
they accosted him and threatened to kill him if he refused to play ball.
Akpan said: “I
worked in the bank till the end of December Last year. I was paid N15, 000
monthly as a cleaner. I only worked with the bank for four months. I told him
that we were planning to rob the bank and that if he doesn’t co-operate when we
attack, we would trace and kill him. He promised to co-operate with us. Police
later came to our house arrest us. We heard that the security guard went to the
police.”
ELECTIONS POSTPONEMENT ONLY ADDS INSULT TO INJURY...TINUBU
The APC Chieftain, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said the postponement of elections by Jonathan’s government
was the by-product of overt political interference undermining the independence
of the election management body, INEC. Find the statement below...
What happened Saturday was actually not a postponement
due to security or logistical reasons. What happened was the by-product of
overt political interference undermining the independence of the election
management body, INEC. The elections were postponed not because they could
safely be held.
They were postponed because one man, President Jonathan,
feared that an election held on February 14 would for him become an election
lost. While the mouth was Jega, the words were Jonathan. He chose to place our
democracy at risk than do what democracy demands by facing and risking the
verdict of the people. That he would use our security agencies to provide his
excuse only adds insult to injury.
This act was one desperation of a man in fear of defeat.
It was not done for the national good. It was the wrong thing done for the
wrong reason by the wrong man.
The rationale stated by the heavily intimidated INEC
chairman does not withstand close scrutiny nor the rigors of logical thought.
It is nothing but a lie draped in a falsehood born by deceit.
Jega said he hinged his decision on a purported letter
stating that due to an impending offensive the security agencies will not have
the personnel to spare to adequately guard the polling areas in the
northeastern states.
For the Service Chiefs to be inserted in the electoral
process in this manner and at the eleventh hour reveals nothing but a cynical
plot to thwart elections. President Jonathan has revealed that he only wants
elections where the guaranty is that he shall win. This is not the nature of
democratic elections. Jonathan's government has purposefully undermined the
electoral process because he is not interested in a free and fair honest where
the outcome reflects the sovereign will of the people. He wants an elaborate
coronation dressed in the garb of an election. The Nigerian people are too
smart for this rude trick.
This postponement is a smokescreen because what the
letter says is that they are advising a postponement of six weeks in the first
instance subject to the amelioration of the security situation in the North
East. This is coming from a Chief of Defence staff that vowed to crush the
insurgents within four months early last year. A year later, nothing has
changed. He is now asking Nigerians to believe this government can do in six
weeks what it could not do in six years.
I ask Nigerians to question why these Service Chiefs
decided to launch a major operation a week before the elections? What is new
about the security situation in the last two weeks that has not been there
these past several years? The date and importance of the election was well
publicized. Why did they wait till now? They waited because they were given
marching orders by the president to delay the elections.
They have gone on an offensive already. However, the true
offensive is not against Boko Haram. It is against the Nigerian people and our
democracy.
If elections could hold in Afghanistan, Pakistan and
Iraq, why not in Nigeria where only 14 out of 774 council areas are under
siege?
This postponement may be the prelude to even rasher more
authoritarian action by this desperate, inept government.
This postponement has deeply wounded Nigerian democracy.
While my party hoped to go into the election and win it that we may offer a new
and honest deal to the people. This government continues to feed the people a
raw deal.
The ambition of one man should not be allowed to affect
the destiny of 170 million Nigerians.Nigerians have signalled their desire for
change and there is nothing this government can do to erase it.
Thus, we do not despair. I ask our supporters and
Nigerians to remain calm and do everything to keep the peace. I ask you to
renew your determination in the face of this insult to our democracy and common
sense. It is inevitable that change shall come and we shall bring it fairly,
democratically and peacefully.
They will attempt more tricks before the six weeks is
over. Each time, they will be defeated by the power of our commitment to a new
day in a new democratic Nigeria.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
