On Monday, the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed a lawsuit brought by Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru, a former presidential candidate for the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, in the 2019 presidential election.
Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo dismissed the lawsuit that called for the immediate dismissal of President Buhari for three main reasons.
Some of the arguments are that the lawsuit was a flagrant abuse of the legal system, was time-barred, and insulted the authority of the Nigerian Supreme Court.
Besides, Justice Ekwo held that the suit was baseless, frivolous, irritating and vexatious in its entirety.
Owuru had, in the suit, applied for an order of court to declare the presidential seat vacant and swear him in as the authentic winner of that election.
