Court Asked To Void Buhari's Recent Appointments by talktimi(m): 7:50am On Sep 29, 2015 |
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri ABUJA – The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has been asked to nullify recent appointments that President Muhammadu Buhari made without recourse to the Senate. Specifically, the court was in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/770/2015, prayed to void the appointment of the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and that of the Managing Director of the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON). The suit was lodged before the high court yesterday by an Abuja based legal practitioner Mr. Maduakolam Igwe. The plaintiff, is praying the court to set aside the appointments on the premise that they did not pass through screening and confirmation by the senate and are therefore unlawful. Aside President Buhari, other defendants in the suit are the Attorney-General of the Federation, Chairman of FIRS, Mr. Babtunde Wiliam Fowler and MD of AMCON, Ahmed Lawan Kuru. Equally joined as defendants in the matter were three other directors that were appointed under President Buhari’s administration, Kola Ayeye, Ebeerechukwu Uneze and Aminu Ismail. The plaintiff is asking the court to declare that the appointments made by the President without confirmation by the Senate, pursuant to Section 3(2)(a) and 11(a) of the FIRS Act 2007, is illegal, null and void. He also wants the court to declare that the newly appointed CEOs cannot exercise the functions and duties of CEOs in their respective offices without the confirmation of their appointment by the Senate. In an affidavit hour deposed in support of the suit, the plaintiff averred: “That I know as a fact that the defendants appointment must be subjected to the confirmation of the senate before they can assume duties. “That I know as of fact that one of the cardinal principle and policy of the present administration of the 1st defendant is anchored on the rule of law and respect for statutory provision and the 1999 Constitution as amended”. Meantime, no date has been fixed for hearing of the suit which is yet to be assigned to any judge. http://www.vanguardngr.com/ 1 Like |

Just to inform the APC lying masťurbators, this is a democracy and the constitution/due process must be followed in all appointments made by the president. Buhari should test the legality of his shenanigans in a court of law. QUOTE ME ANYWHERE |

What Nigerians want is good delivery of services that will improve the lives of the general public. No body cares how they were bn appointed any more. last time I checked, our public office holders who went through the so called screening and approval by the senate under the former administrations did not perform. They contributed to the challenges we are facing today... I personally don't care if they were approved by the senate as far as they perform. |

The suit was lodged before the high court yesterday by an Abuja based legal practitioner Mr. Maduakolam Igwe. Why waste time taking the president of Nigeria to court over appointments? Ain't he suppose to be clamouring for biafra? So you people still want appointments in the Zoo despite the grandstanding of ohaneze? Anyway, the court will decide. 1 Like 1 Share |

The comments unread here are disappointing. Much as we demand service delivery from this government and its appointees, and no matter the nature of appointment, the LAW, THE CONSTITUTION, WHICH BUHARI SWORN TO AN OATH TO UPHOLD must be followed. 1 Like 1 Share |

And in Jesus counsel he says 'how many of you (wailers) by being anxious, crying and wailing will add or subtract a day from PMB's tenure? No regiment of an army or wailers can stop an idea/Buhari movement whose time has come. I understand their pain & hue as I have been there before as an opposition man, but it is an inevitable & self imposed cross the wailers have to carry indefinitely infinitum. |

Godfullsam:when will you lapdogs have sense ? If Buhari cannot work under the confines of the constitution (which he swore to uphold) in a democracy then he should honorably resign and hand over power to Osinbajo. If Nigerians wanted a dictatorship then we would have invited the military to take over long ago 1 Like |

Its easy to discern saraki hand in this but I keep telling folks that military guys are more strategic in their thinking than civilians, somebody should please advise saraki that the game is up and the more he try, the more they will bring out more skeleton in his own cupboard. The way PMB is working, he can afford to do without whatever appointments, wailers will only wail but baba go continue with im job |
