Indigenes of the Federal Capital Territory have asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to stop the inauguration of the 43 ministerial nominees of President Muhammadu Buhari. Following the nomination of the ministers and their screening and confirmation by the Senate in July, the president set August 21 for their inauguration.

But in a motion brought on behalf of the FCT natives by Musa Baba Panya Esq on Thursday, the lawyer is asking the court to restrain the president from conducting the inauguration over the exemption of FCT Indigenes from the list. Panya contends that the President is in contempt of a Court of Appeal judgement delivered on January 15, 2018 compelling him to immediately appoint an indigene of the FCT as Minister of the Federation. He contended that having “brazenly scorned the Oath of Allegiance and Oath of office twice subscribed by him as mandatorily required by the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the consequence of which he is no longer a fit and proper person to continue holding office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and for same reason as liable to vacate the said office.”

He also demands the sum of N500m as exemplary damages and N10m as legal costs against President Buhari and the Attorney General of the Federation. Meanwhile, Justice Taiwo Taiwo has fixed the motion to Monday, August 20 for judgement.

I don’t get your point. Elections were rigged and not everyone voted APC. A lawyer should sue INEC for rescheduling election on the day of election thereby disenfranchising Nigerians.

Are u for real

This administration is a complete fraud.

Next level stupidity upon those who voted these sets of rogues & thieves

When you think that you have seen it all.

Are dis ones high on cheap weed?

Since Buhari learned that he failed woefully to rig in Abuja... He has declared FCt indigenes as necessary evil


Buhari said he knows how the nation voted...

When a vindictive old dullard is in authority... The people die of hunger... Unemployment.. Suicide.. Kidnapping.. Etc

God punish all those who brought this affliction on the nation because of selfish 2023

The gorilla that escaped from the zoo has been caught
He said that the Hunger in this next level is too much
That he just wanted to look for what to eat.

Abuse of legal procedures.
No matter what, while the lawyer has the right to seek redress for an FCT indigene appointment. Restraining the cabinet inauguration and removal of the President is a huge joke.

Really

Its obvious that we don't have a leader in this country

See mumu
When were votes?
Ewu

Must u always comment like your medulla is permanently on vacation ?! How many election have been postponed in Nigeria n how many was cancelled for such ?! Your fraudster from Otueke actually postponed election midway into voting.

Late Mohammadu Buhari as claimed by Nnamdi Kanu is not in control of the Aso Villa, rather an impostor/Jubril, judging by d claims of Aisha Buhari that 3 powerful personalities ar running Buhari govt. under his (Buhari's) name. However, Aisha uses such opportunity to let d world kn that Buhari's family will not be blame in d misrule of d ruling party (APC) in case they cause d disintegration of country through their act of impunity which is causing anarchy and maladministration. If d real Buhari is in power, Nigeria might not be in this mess to this extent

FCT did'nt vote 4 baba buhari,let them go an set down,

Nobody likes Buhari

I agree with them

Why will he ignore or ommit them from the list?

What a pity those commenting never read a word from the writeup.
The indigine of abuja were only complaining that they were not included in the ministerial list.
