The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday slammed a fine of N40 million on a former Presidential candidate, Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru for filing a frivolous suit to stop the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29.
The appellate court ordered the politician to pay the fine of N10 million each to President Muhammadu Buhari, Attorney General of the Federation AGF, Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, and Tinubu whom he made 1st to 4th defendants in the issue.
Justice Jamil Tukur, who read the lead judgment of the three man panel of the court, held that Owuru embarked on gross abuse of court process by filing a frivolous, vexatious and irritating suit to provoke the respondents.
The Court of Appeal held that the grievances of Owuru against the 2019 presidential election was not only strange but uncalled for because the grievances had been pursued up to Supreme Court and was dismissed for want of merit.
Justice Tukur said that the action of Owuru to resuscitate the case that died since 2019 at the Supreme Court was aimed at making the lower courts to go on collision course with the supremacy of the apex court.
MetaPhysical: Here are some fun facts. You downplay Great Ibo at your risk.
For your information Gov AbdulRazaq mother is Ibo. His wife's father is Ibo. Their housemaid is Ibo. Moreover, their son is dating a girl from Awka, capital of Anambra.
Gov Makinde himself is a grandson of an Ibo migrant. Then to top it, his wife is from Oraifite Autonomous Village in Anambra State.
You Yorubas think you are in charge, but it is really Great Ibos controlling the scene front, back and center.
Governor Adeleke of Osun, mother Ibo, wife is Ibo. Governor Akeredolu of Ondo, his middle name is Emeka, given by his Ibo grandfather. His wife, Betty Anyanwu is Ibo. Ogun Governor Abiodun, can't you see how his skin is yellow? Yoruba dey yellow like that? His origin is Nsukka sector. I know his great grandfather.
Even Lagos una carry on top head, Governor Sanwo Olu was born in Iboland. He met his wife in Iboland. Their youngest child has an iboman for godfather. Did you not know that former governor Ambode was the son of an Ibo woman? When Tinubu discovered thats why they kicked him out.
Are you aware Akiolu son is planning to marry Ibo? Seyi Tinubu id already married to Ibo. We know Obasanjo father is Ibo already.
Ibo own entire South from East to West. .
By this time next week, President Tinubu will be in Aso Rock. Let the 7 days owambe begin.
My love to all my Ibo brothers.
Why the lies?

You guys boast about rubbish, but why lie about ur rubbish boasts?
Isobug: Inyang Ekwo is a Federal high Court judge. But Inyang John Okoro is a Judge in the Supreme court. There are different judges. Don't worry, I know your fear. He's from Akwaibom not what you think. But what will be will be
Lol, so because he is igbo he will convince the judges to rule against tinubu? Lmao

DMerciful: By the time witnesses from Amazon web services says that INEC servers were shutdown on the 25th Feb by the rightful INEC staff based on login records and that there was no glitch then INEC will need to answer why they intentionally shutdown IREV
But shutting the IREV is irrelevant. Voters register and the forms all parties signed at the PUs takes precedence. Read osun state judgement. Shutting down the irev doesnt mean anything, the signed forms still appeared on the Irev eventually. If the forms the party agents signed are different from the ones INEC announced, thats all that matters to the court. Bring out the dicrepancies in all the states and show they were materially different to the election result.
XerXers: Just say you don't know anywhere beyond those places
I am talking about huge automated chicken farms, not just random live chicken sellers o. The ones that sell enmasse, like 10,000 chickens a day. They cut and freeze and distribute.
KFC all over the country gets their chicken from shonga farms in Kwara state. Chicken Republic all over the country gets their chicken from a farm in Ogun state. Ask any market woman in your state that has a shop selling frozen chicken where she gets it from (emphasis 'frozen'). They will all tell you ogun state.
sreamsense: I laughed in 3D at OP! See him being restless. Is it today we just started reading your analysis? Shallow analysis and prediction of ANAP and Bantupage that many obidients like you did during campaign, what came out of it than handling over 3rd position to Obi? No one knows you can analyze like this because it is not Tinubu matter. Only Tinubu your analysis will tell not to observe swearing in until court judgement ends, but now; you turn to emergency political and judicial expert just because all Elupee will be affected. Didn't we tell you about stop-labouring in vain?
You better let me give you transport fare to go and tell Obi to prepare. Tell him not to pay remaining balance for all his lawyers so he can save some amount of money. You keep chasing Tinubu that doesn't utter a word to abuse you because of hatred until you enter into pit. Stop wasting your time, ELUPEE formular will work in this case, it is operation remove all LP from top to bottom. It is not me that said so, it is the court

Alex Otti MUST NOT be sworn in as Abia State Governor until Supreme Court rules on the matter of his LP Candidature. Let Ikpeazu continue for 6 months. For justices' sake.
youngsahito: Why are some people happy over this high court judgement, don't we want our democracy to produce more political party to fight the corrupt APC and PDP. I'm so ashamed for the thinking of 9ja youth this time around yet we complained about anything those greedy politicians present to us. Labour party is not only for Obi so let's support the new party for the development of democracy in Nigeria.
LOL at the bolded. You didnt preach all this when u were fighting with the members of ur party. Why didnt u support the members of the partyu met there? why are u now asking we that are not in ur party to be supporting ur party? Usurpers dt dont know about building bridges, u entered a party and destroyed it By the way, Labour party is not a new party.
I wonder what makes a Kano court feels it can give verdict over the Abia State election
What does APC have to do with this?
The person that sued Abure to court for forging documents (which he did) was a long time LP party member who felt cheated cos they believed abure was bribed.
The person that made this suit against unelected party candidates is a PDP party member. Unfortunately for PDP, even if all obi votes are nullified as 'wasted votes' PDP still wont win the election.
