ABUJA – A legal practitioner, Mr. Dim-Udebuani Marcel, Tuesday, dragged President Muhammadu Buhari before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, accusing him of violating the Federal Character principle as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, through the appointments he has made so far. The plaintiff, in his suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/732/2015, joined the Chairman, Federal Character Commission (FCC) as 2nd defendant in the matter. In the originating summons, the plaintiff, urged the court to among other things, determine, “Whether the total of the twenty-five (25) appointments made so far by the 1st defendant (Buhari), is not against the spirit of Section 14 (3) of 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria. As well as, “Whether the exclusion of South-East geo-political zone in the twenty-five (25) appointments made so far by the 1st defendant is unconstitutional and divisive among others. He is praying the court for an order compelling President Buhari to reverse the appointments so far made to observe and comply with the principle of Federal Character as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). “An order of this court compelling the 2nd defendant (FCC) to invoke paragraph 8 (1) (C) of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Likewise, “An order of court declaring all the appointments so far made null and void for violation of the principle of Federal Character enshrined in our constitution aforesaid.” The plaintiff in an affidavit he deposed in support of the suit, averred: “That the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a country for all the citizens, South-East inclusive. “That the 2nd defendant is a creation of constitution of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria. “That the entire five (5) States that make up South-East geo-political zone has no appointment yet”. He told the court that the North-East, North-West, North-Central, South-West and South-South have had representations in the appointments made so far. The plaintiff said he decided to invoke the original jurisdiction of the court against Buhari considering the fact that he had as a lawyer, swore an oath to defend and protect the nation’s constitution. He contended that the suit bother on constitutional breach, insisting that the appointments by President Buhari was “highly lopsided”. The plaintiff argued that it is in the best interest of justice and promotion of rule of law that the lopsided appointments be reversed by the court. Meantime, the matter is yet to be assigned to any judge for hearing http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/lawyer-drags-buhari-to-court-over-exclusion-of-s-east-geo-political-zone-in-his-appointments/ |

| Buhari, pls have mercy on Igbos; they are your children... People are seriously dying of political hypertension in South East as a result of their ignorance and stupidity @ last election. See them like prodigal son.... However, if you are to appoint any Igbo man into your cabinet, let the Igbo man come from Anambra state(Anambranians are the 1st class Igbos and the rest are just ordinary Igbos). I can assure you Sir Buhari, that if the appointment goes to Anambranian, the rest would keep their mouth shut. 4 Likes |

sameer1212: Since the zoo has been taking revenues form the SE,then there are also entitled to eat from their own share of the cake. If only the zoo would let the east go why on earth would they be seeking appointment from the zoo president. Allow the seccession of the SE and take all the appointments |

Unfortunately, section 14 is among the unenforceable provisions in the constitution. this case would have been recondite if it was as regards the appointment of ministers. |

lionstone: Joke and tribalism apart, a colleague from Anambra state told me that other Igbos from other states are not real Igbos. I swear with everything i have on earth. I thought it was a joke until another older lady from Anambra state had issue with another Igbo lady from Imo state at work. She said the same thing about how Anambrians are the real Igbos or 1st class Igbos while she was telling what led to their fight. I wish i could record d guy and the lady. I ll see if i could bring the conversation up again this week or next week so as to record it. |
