Lagos Lawyer Sues Buhari Over Inadequate Fuel Supply by Nobody: 8:05am On Aug 05, 2015
Lagos—A lawyer and rights activist, Kabir
Akingbolu has dragged President Muhammadu
Buhari before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos
over his failure to make adequate provision for
the production and supply of petroleum products
to all citizens at regulated prices.
Buhari
Akingbolu, in the suit, has the Attorney General of
the Federation, AGF, as the second defendant.
The lawyer is contending that considering the
nature and extent of inconveniences which the
citizens of the country were being subjected to by
the lack of petroleum products, especially the
Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), the failure of Buhari,
as the Chief Executive Officer of the country, to
act by making the products sufficiently available,
was capable of causing breach of peace and
serious discomfiture for the citizenry.
He is praying the court to determine whether the
failure of the president to address the scarcity by
the President was a breach of the oath of office
he took on May 29, 2015 and a violation of the
clear and unambiguous provisions of Section 130
(1) & (2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
Akingbolu is asking the court to declare that the
failure of the defendants (Buhari and AGF) to
make available petroleum products as a breach of
oath of office, and that the failure to fix the
refineries in the country was equally a breach of
the constitutional obligation of the president.
