COURT SETS MAY 8 HEARING IN SUIT TO BLOCK JONATHAN FROM 2027 RACE
The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed May 8 to hear a suit seeking to stop former President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election.
Justice Peter Lifu adjourned the case on Tuesday and ordered that hearing notices be served on all parties.
The plaintiff, lawyer Johnmary Jideobi, wants the court to issue a perpetual injunction against Jonathan’s participation in the race.
He argues that Jonathan has already exhausted the constitutional limit of two presidential tenures.
The suit also lists INEC and the Attorney-General of the Federation as defendants.
The plaintiff says the case is in the public interest and meant to defend the supremacy of the Constitution.
Do you think the court should bar Jonathan now, or wait for the full legal process to play out?
