An FCT High Court, Jabi on Thursday
refused to bar Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, a top
contender of the Speakership of the 9th House of
Representatives, from going ahead with his
ambitions.

The suit with No. M/6810/2019 was filed before
the court by way of motion on notice and was
filed by Mr Ikenga-Imo Ugochinyere and the
Action People’s Party (APP) on May 30.
Other respondents in the suit are Clerk of the
National Assembly, Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Inspector
General of Police.

Justice Charles Agbaza refused to grant the order
in an ex-parte motion with No. M/6809/2019
seeking an interim injunction restraining
Gbajabiamila from contesting for the speaker of
the 9th National Assembly and other principal
offices.

The Judge also refused to grant the fifth order
praying the court for an interim injunction
restraining the NAtional Assembly from
recognising the candidacy of Gbajabiamila for the
speakership position or swearing him in
peradventure he wins the election.

Justice Agbaza however ruled that the defendants
should be served the court processes by way of
substituted means instead of restraining
Gbajabiamila which was part of the orders sought
before the court.

The Judge also granted an order of accelerated
hearing and adjourned until June 14 for hearing in
the suit.

Meanwhile, the claimants, Ugochinyere and his
party had alleged in the suit that Gbajabiamila,
the member representing Surulere 1 Federal
Constituency of Lagos State had been convicted
and sentence to prison.

The claimant alleged that Gbajabiamila had been
convicted for the offence of involving in
dishonesty and fraud by the Supreme Court of
State of Georgia, United States of America in suit
No. S06Y0829.


Ugochinyere alleged in the suit that Gbajabiamila
gave false information in Form CF001 that he has
no criminal allegation or sentence submitted to
INEC in 2011 and 2018.

The claimant added in the suit that while the
defendant was living in the United States of
America, he was subjected to investigation by the
Investigative Panel of the State Disciplinary Board
for violation of Georgia Rules of Professional
Conduct.

Ugochinyere alleged that the offence against
Gbajabiamila arose out of the defendant
involvement in the case he has between Ms
Hadyatou Barry and her sister Yaye, who were
involved in an accident in 2001 and engaged the
service of the defendant.

The claimant alleged in the suit that the
Gbajabiamila later settled the case for the two
sisters, received a cheque of 25, 000 dollars but
failed to communicate and remit the share due to
them.

Lol... No be only ex convict....

Illiterates everywhere.

Nigeria laws, very rigid to amend..

But easy to manipulate.

Clearly OP has no idea what he's talking about.

There is no court action in Nigeria that can be commenced with a Motion on Notice.

Court actions are commenced by Writs of Summons, Originating Summons, Originating Motion etc.

Secondly, it was an interim injunction that was dismissed and not the main suit itself, so Gbajabiamila still has a case to answer.

Bloggers should consult a lawyer before posting rubbish on legal technicalities.

Another bad day for wailers. We serve a faithful God

even if Gbajamila is a terrorist, a thief or ex-convict, he will still become Speaker, eebos that want to die because of that can go and die.


Gbajamila for speaker. ntor!

No matter what happens, Tinubu alone is greater than you, your ancestors and unborn generations put together.

The highest you slaves have achieved is VP to Shagari. That is a position Tinubu nominated someone into.

If you had a politician with half of Tinubu's sagacity in the SE, maybe the south east won't be political bastards that they have become.

Don't mind the muddy clowns.

Ojukwu got 3M of their foolish ancestors killed and came back to contest and they supported him.

TA Orji won his governorship election while he was still in prison and the hypocrites didn't see anything wrong.

This is the same hypocrisy that made Israelites chase them out of Isreal.

Tuniski,modupe,danwakae,celeiyke and esseite how far

Why must it be an ex convict abeg

Nigerian democracy is over 2015

Yorubas already had 8 SANs before those illiterates could get a single one.

You need to understand that those muddy clowns are not mentally developed enough to understand how the legal system works.

The most stupid lawsuits in Nigeria are instituted by those muddy losers because they are naturally behind in reasoning.

You should be happy that it is over.
Weren't your people shouting Biafra or death and the zoo must fall?

Generational losers.

You can't see any of them on this thread. Rain fell in Lagos today and rain beat stupid and bastard out of those gala hawkers.

Their gala drank water and each of them is now as big as a loaf of bread.

he represented someone that had accident settled the case and absconded with the money. Is this the kind of person you want holding that kind of position?

When people always say the problem of Nigeria is the leaders I always laugh. So this is a man that violated the trust of his clients. He stole $25k closed his firm and left the country only to pay back 4 years later after he was forced to. So tell me hasn’t the man shown you he can’t be trusted with any kind of political power?

We say we have bad leaders but then we ELECT and support them. If he is willing to risk jail time in America where there is rule of law, imagine what he can and will do in Nigeria. Only in Nigeria.
