A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by three individuals seeking to stop the May 29 inauguration, claiming the President-elect, Bola Tinubu supplied false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC.about his age and citizenship status.
Justice James Omotosho, in a ruling on Friday, ruled that the suit by – Praise Ilemona Isaiah, Pastor Paul Isaac Audu and Anongu Moses – was frivolous and an abuse of court process.
Justice Omotosho held that the plaintiffs lacked the locus standi to file the suit, adding that the court could not exercise jurisdiction to hear it because it relates to a presidential election.
The ruling by Justice Omotosho is coming closely after the Supreme Court dismissed another suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party seeking to void the candidacy of Tinubu and the Vice-president elect, Kashim Shettima.
