Emerging reports have confirmed that a federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of presidential candidates, Bola Tinubu (APC) and Peter Obi (Labour Party).
Justice Donatus Okorowo issued the verdict, holding that the suit was alien to the Nigerian legal system and involved an inappropriate court process.
According to the judge, the court could not entertain cases of that nature as they do not present any reasonable cause of action.
Justice Okorowo said: “When a court finds out that a suit is an abuse of court process, the court has the right to dismiss it,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the PDP had, in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1016/2022 sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), APC, Tinubu, Kabiru Masari, LP, Obi and Doyin Okupe respectively as 1st to 8th respondents.
