A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed a suit challenging the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Thelagostimes gathered that the plaintiff, Elder Ngozika Ihuoma, had dragged Tinubu and five others, to court on June 9, 2022, after the former Lagos State Governor won the APC presidential primary election.
In the latest case, suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/854/2022, Justice Fadima Aminu Muritala described the plaintiff as a “meddlesome interloper having no locus standi to institute the suit”.
The presiding Judge, therefore, dismissed the case for being speculative after APC’s counsel, Julius Ishola Esq from Babatunde Ogala & Co had urged the Court to dismiss it with heavy cost for wasting judicial time.
It was gathered that Ihuoma dragged Tinubu and five others to court on June 9, 2022 after the former Lagos State governor won the APC presidential primary election.
He sought for six reliefs, which included INEC barring Tinubu from contesting the 2023 presidential election.
