The suit instituted by one Ovavu Illiyasu and nine others was thrown out by the Judge on ground that they have no locus standi (legal authority) to bring the matter before the court.

Marked FHC/ABJ/CS/654/2025, the suit challenged the validity of the suspension of Natasha Uduaghan-Apoti for various reasons.

Among others, the plaintiffs prayed the court to void the suspension of Natasha on the ground that their Senatorial District will ashortchanged recall with immediate effect.

Various grounds were advanced by the plaintiffs for their request for invalidation of the suspension, among which are that their Senatorial District would be shortchanged in the Senate.

In his judgment on Friday, Justice Omotosho held that the 10 plaintiffs lacked locus standi to Institute the action

Should that be a news. Position of power would be applied in the case

saintopus:
No court in Nigeria shall give judgement against Tinubu, Wike and Akpabio. In fact the words of these great men is assumed to be the judgement of the court.

Cmeo:
What does the judge mean by saying they have not right to sue on behalf of their constituency??

This need to be challenged in a superior court, if it not it will set bad precedent for our constituents and nation

What does "Locus standi" mean?

Imagine you are playing in a playground.
There is a big slide, and only the kids who are actually playing in the playground can tell the teacher if something is wrong with the slide, like if it’s broken or too slippery.

Now, locus standi is like a special rule that says:
Only the kids who are playing on the slide or in the playground can ask the teacher to fix it.

If a kid is just walking by and not playing there, they can’t tell the teacher to fix the slide because it’s not their playground game.

Why is this important?
Because the teacher wants to listen to the kids who really use the slide and are affected by it, not just anyone who sees it from far away.

So, locus standi means:
You have to be someone who is involved or affected to ask for help or to complain about something.

fredoooooo:
Una don start again? Did the constituents told her to lie and accused without evidence?

adioolayi:
I don't agree with your assertions.

Anyone instituting a suit should properly do the very right thing.

Someone that doesn't have locus in matter wey no concern them, should not take the matter to court. It's a waste of judicial time.

Cmeo:
Why can the Senate President sue her personally for criminally and civil for lying against him? Why is it that it's her office/constituency would suffer for it??
