A civil society group, Kingdom Human Rights Foundation International, has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognising, accepting or listing President Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the forthcoming 2019 election.

The KHRFI, in a suit, which it filed on Monday, alleged that by virtue of section 91(9) of the Electoral Act, Buhari’s nomination as APC’s candidate is illegal, null and void for accepting a donation of N45m worth of APC’s nomination and expression of interest forms from a group named Nigerian Consolidation Ambassadors Network.

The plaintiff contended in the suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/1228/2018, that by virtue of section 91(9) of the Electoral Act, no individual or other entity can donate more than N1m to any candidate.

It added, however, that in violation of the said provision of the Electoral Act, Buhari on September 12, 2018 “submitted the illegally purchased presidential nomination form to the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress”.

The plaintiff, through its lawyer, Mr. Okere Nnamdi, sued Buhari, the Office of the President, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the APC and INEC as the 1st to the 5th defendants respectively.

An affidavit filed in support stated that the APC, relying on the “illegally purchased nomination form” the APC on October 6 and 7, 2018 held a National Convention in Abuja where Buhari emerged a consensus presidential candidate of the party.

It added, “That by virtue of section 91 (9) of the Electoral Act no individual or other entity shall donate more than one million naira (N1,000,000) to any candidate.

“That the Supreme Court of Nigeria has defined election in many cases as a process that begins with nomination and selection of a candidate for election by political parties.

like buhari ever respects the rule of law or court orders. The man that specifically told the Nigerian bar association and the CJN to their faces, that he won't be following the rule of law on selected occasions. After the nation wide raid on the judges and judicial staff across the federation by the DSS, buhari has enough dirt to blackmail many judges even if it is as insignificant as nude pics, or room filled with dollars, he's got them by the balls

does buhari have respect for the rule of law? buhari is a scammer, a bigot and a religious fanatic, trust his SANs to come and interprete the electoral act in favour of their god and master buhari.

Buhari has turned our judiciary to joke.

Buhari the scammer .

His scamming patterns would surprise the likes of Otumba cash.

Yussuf Buhari, with no source of income has a 56 million naira worth of power bike

This man would have used his time productively. Buhari owns the judiciary. Even Rochas Okorocha violated court orders to hold another primaries in Imo state which favoured Nwosu his son- inlaw

"Laws become fragile under the influence of dictators."Wayne Gerard Trotman

There is no respect for the rule of law in a Buhari government.

Those instituting the suit are senile.

The law refers to a candidate and Buhari was an aspirant then.


Lawyers will just be milking fools out if ignorance and hatred

b

Una should not waste una precious time... buhari will not win ....U can apply for any job in Nigeria without certificate just tell them it is with the military... it is part of buhari achievement... because election is fast approaching ...his herdsmen brothers decided to stop the killing and der are no more demanding for land in every state for der personal business..he stopped the printing of new 100 naira note just because gej removed the Arabic language on it... let's be wise this man is a fundamentalist

How can that happen when his relative is the chairman of inec

What they could not achieve in 2014 is it now they will now stop him.
1 billion pigs and idiots cannot stop him

This is a very good step not all these online noise makers beating chest upandan.

I wish them uncommon success in their struggle to stop PMB from contesting the next year election..

Let the court decides

These quack lawyers who cannot even interpret the law.

They cited section 91(9) of the Electoral Act which says no individual or other entity can donate more than N1m to any candidate.

Their common sense didn't show them that buhari was not yet a candidate at that time but an aspirant and as far as definitions for aspirant goes, it means he was aspiring to be a candidate at that time and not yet a candidate.

He became a candidate when he submitted the said form.

That law is for candidates and not aspirants.

The Judge will throw them out with their nonsense

Yes ooooo

In addition, he is not qualified because he is yet to present his WAEC certificate!

You are wasting your time because he respects no court of law.

Was it not a group that bought PDP form for Atiku. Is this people telling me that PDP form is 1million Naira.

All these act by PDP groups trying so hard to make sure APC does not have a candidate since they know 1million Atikus and PDP can not defeat Buhari.

Bullion van Party with bullion van Presidential candidate.
He must have worn an Agbada the day he went to collect money.
