THE ICIR
AN Abuja Federal High Court on Monday, January 30, dismissed a suit by a former presidential aspirant, Ambrose Owuru, to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence as candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019.
Owuru contested the 2019 presidential election on the platform of the defunct Hope Democratic Party (HDP)
According to Punch Newspaper, the presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, threw out the suit on three significant grounds.
According to the judge, the suit constituted a gross abuse of the court process.
He also held that it was statute barred and an affront to the supremacy of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Justice Ekwo further held that the suit was baseless and frivolous.
