The 2019 presidential candidate of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Ambrose Owuru, has filed a suit, appealing to stop the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) as the President of Nigeria.
In the suit submitted on Tuesday, marked CA/CV/259/2023, Owuru is specifically asking for an order that will prevent President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from swearing in Tinubu as president on the 29th of May. As he predicated his case on the grounds that he was the rightful winner of the 2019 presidential elections, and as such, he has not served his tenure as required by law, he also prayed for “An order of prohibitory injunction compelling Buhari, AGF and INEC, their servants, agents and privies to preserve and give due cognizance and abstain from any further undertaking or engaging in any act of usurpation of adjudged acquired constitutional rights and mandate as winner of the 2019 presidential election.”
