The Hope Democratic Party (HDP) has  sued President Goodluck Jonathan, Secretary to the Government of the Federation Anyim Pius Anyim, Attorney-General of the Federa-tion Mohammed Adoke and others over the pro-Jonathan’s re-election rallies by the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN).

They, alongside TAN, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Inspector General of Police Suleiman Abba, were sued at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The party’s originating summon filed Wednesday is seeking an order of the court restraining TAN and others from canvassing votes and holding political rallies for Jonathan.
The party said the rallies were encouraging unwholesome violation of the provisions of the constitution in section 221 and was an undue wastage of the tax payers’ money.

Mr I.I. Emmanuel, who represented the party’s presidential aspirant Ambrose Owuru, is arguing that the campaigns and rallies violate sections 221 and 229 paragraph 15 of the third and seventh schedules of the 1999 Constitution.

He also wants the court to determine among others “whether the violation and lack of protection of section 221 of the 1999 Constitution by the defendants is not an abuse of power and office and dereliction of duty to the detriment of the right of the citizenry to a dignified and lawful and orderly means of political campaign and vote seeking by candidates at an election through their political parties’ platform.”

No date has been fixed for hearing.
