The Supreme Court of Nigeria will on Monday, December 16, determine the fate of President Bola Tinubu in a fresh suit seeking his removal from office as Nigeria’s leader.
The new suit marked SC/CV/667/2023 is praying the apex court to sack Tinubu on two major grounds of alleged non-qualification to hold office as Nigeria’s President and usurpation of the same office against the law of the country.
A candidate in the 2019 presidential election on the platform of Hope Democratic Party, HDP, Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru, filed the fresh suit directly at the Supreme Court.
Defendants in the suit are former President Muhammadu Buhari, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Independent National Electoral Commission INEC and Tinubu as 1st to 4th defendants, respectively.
