A Federal High Court in Lagos on
Monday adjourned till November
11, 2015 to hear a suit seeking
to compel President Muhammadu
Buhari to fix all the petroleum
refineries in the country. The plaintiff, Kabir Akingbolu, also
wants the court to order the
President to ensure adequate
production and availability of
Premium Motor Spirit at a
regulated price across the country. The trial judge, Justice John
Tsoho, adjourned the case on
Monday following the non-
appearance of the plaintiff in
court. The judge said though the
plaintiff had not followed up the
case, the issues he raised in the
suit were still relevant. Akingbolu, a lawyer, claimed in his
suit filed in June that Buhari
failed to address the problem of
fuel scarcity which resulted in
long queues and selling of the
products at varying exhorbitant prices in petrol stations across
the country. He urged the court to determine
whether in view of his campaign
promises and Section 130(1)(2)
of the Constitution, Buhari had
not breached his oath of office
and his constitutional obligation. Akingbolu claimed that failure of
Buhari to ensure sufficient
supply of petroleum products to
Nigerians was capable of causing
serious discomfort, which might
occasion a breach of societal peace. In the affidavit filed in support of
his suit, Akingbolu said he
recalled how the country had
started experiencing fuel
scarcity from around January
20, 2015, in the pre-general election period. According to him, the masses
were however delighted that
after Buhari won the election
that the problem of fuel scarcity
would come to an end. But Akingbola claimed that after
Buhari was sworn in on May 29,
the fuel scarcity crisis took even
a worse turn. Akingbilu said, “The price of PMS
is now no longer at N87 per litre
at most petrol stations but N110
and above in the country,
creating untold hardship on the
citizenry as well as the plaintiff who voted for the first
defendant (Buhari). “I know as a fact that very few
petrol stations still sell at N87
per litre and it is like going to a
battle field before the citizens
can get petroleum products. “I know as a fact that the
refineries have deliberately been
ignored and left unfixed by the
past administrations in Nigeria
for their selfish interest of which
the current president might follow if not properly cautioned,
hence the commencement of this
suit. “If the refineries are fixed and
are working in perfect condition,
the situation of scarcity of
petroleum products would come
to an end, and second, the issue
of spending huge amounts in the exportation of crude oil to be
refined outside the country and
subsequently imported back,
would come to an end.” Cl¡ck her£ to r€ad mor€ £pisode

He is wasting his money... Very soon the case will be quashed. Section 308 is very clear, he can not appear in court no matter the nature of the case.
