Rally: Court orders Peter Obi’s supporters not to converge at Lekki toll gate

The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the Labour Party and its supporters not to converge at the Lekki toll gate for its #Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally billed to hold on the 1st of October, 2020.

The court also directed the Inspector General of Police and the Lagos State Police Commissioner to ensure compliance with the order.

Justice Daniel Osiagor made these orders today while ruling on a motion for injunction brought by 10 plaintiffs, who are asking the court to, among others, restrain the LP, its presidential candidate Peter Obi, his vice Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, one Julius Abure and their loyalists from holding the rally.

The court also held that the while the rally cannot stop at the Lekki toll gate, it can pass through the venue to access Falomo Bridge and other venues at which the rally plans to meet.

A preliminary objection filed by the defendants seeking to stop the court from hearing the motion on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction could however not been entertained as all parties to the suit had not been served.

The court adjourned hearing of the substantive suit to Nov 4th.

In the suit, 10 plaintiffs through their Romeo Ese Michael, Esq. are asking the court to, among others, restrain the LP, its presidential candidate Peter Obi, his vice Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, one Julius Abure and their loyalists from holding the rally, until the hearing and determination of their Motion-On-Notice of September 12, 2022.

The plaintiffs are Adedotun Ajulo Esq., Salamatu Suleiman Lewi Esq., Hakeem Ijaduola, Esq., Ogunbona Akinpelu Esq., Owolabi K. Oluwasegun, Esq., Mogbojuri Kayode Esq., Wuyep Mantim Nadom Esq., Dimimu Mabel, Esq., Kolawole Salami, Esq. and Mr. Wale Abe Lawrence.

The 1st to 10th defendants are Obi, LP, Baba-Ahmed, Abure, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Commissioner of Police (Lagos State Command), Director-General (Department of State Services), Lekki Concession Company (LCC) Limited, Attorney-General of Lagos State and The Governor of Lagos State.

In the substantive suit, the plaintiffs are arguing among other things that a repeat or celebration of the “infamous” EndSARS protest of 2020 under the political guise of “#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally” will cause a breakdown of peace and will result in post-traumatic stress disorder for them and the public.

But why are some people scared of this rally? This is unbecoming. Rally your own, and allow others rally their own. These lawyers are just charge and bail lawyers.

Tinubu's handiwork but it won't stop Obi from winning with a landslide victory.

Obidients are great people

I de tell you. Tinubu ran to London hospital for them to control his blood pressure when the rally will commence.

....“#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally” will cause a breakdown of peace and will result in post-traumatic stress disorder for them and the public.

Urchins will always be urchins, even the learned ones. Anyways I'm glad our march for freedom is sending shockwaves down the spine of the enemies of this country causing them PTSD. I wonder how they will survive this weekend.

A fair judgement.
They don't need to cos traffic just pass and go.
It's cool afterall.

Just like hurricane

Obi fan base solid gidigba jor

Perhaps they are afraid of the blood they spilled there but they are wrong. The bloodshed on 20-10-2020 will continue to cry for justice. All involved in that massacre will be hunt down by karma.

Good

Lekki Toll gate is significant however the court order should be obeyed

Make sure you tell your brother’s not to try any nonsense of burning anything this time..

Fair enough. Hear me loud and clear Obituaries, you can PASS THROUGH and not CONVERGE or wait at the toll gate. Also make sure you dont use your own to disturb other Road users. There are consequences for not adhering to this rules. And if you break this rules and you collect the consequences wotowoto, don't come here to start crying like over fed babies

Till now we don't know Who ordered the shootings on innocent protesters at the Lekki Toll gate.

.

Endsar people.

Using lekki toll gate for political campaign is how you know that these obi supporters are endsar people who destroyed lagos.

Tinubu built conducive environment for them to enjoy in Lagos, same thing cannot be said of Anambra.

.

nothing can stop this moving train.. nice one

Do we now have another constitution that i don't know about?
Oppressors

Hello

Are all these necessary

Zombie no dey hear warning, dem get brain? u go see.., that place wey dem tok sey make dem no dey, na dere dem dey go, if popo come do dere work, na tinubu send dem... baba wey dey chill outside with hin vice...
Their hoebi no go sound the warning now o make hin reason dem sey court order don dey, if everything come burst, na opposition run am street... mumu man...
We go kuku dey here to receive their sweet salty tears...

Don’t know why been so scared of a party and candidate they termed structureless.

Who Jah almighty has blessed, no Babylon and Tinubu's demented urchins can curse.

Jah bless Obidients family, Jah bless Peter Obi and Yusuf.

Whether converge o,congregate , gather or pass through, I've decided to vote Obi, even if he loses..at least my conscience will be free of being part of those that enslaved Nigeria for 8 more years..

ok
