The Supreme Court of Nigeria is set to determine the fate of President Bola Tinubu on Monday, December 16, in a fresh suit seeking his removal from office.
The suit, filed by Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru, a candidate in the 2019 presidential election, alleges that Tinubu is not qualified to hold office as Nigeria’s President and has usurped the office against the law of the country.
Owuru, a British-trained lawyer, claims that he won the 2019 presidential poll but his tenure was allegedly usurped by former President Muhammadu Buhari for eight years.
He also alleges that his suit at the Supreme Court, which would have kicked Buhari out of office, was technically thrown out due to a mix-up in the hearing dates.
The suit also accuses Tinubu of forfeiting $460,000 to the United States of America over alleged involvement in drug trafficking-related offenses. Additionally, Owuru claims that Tinubu is an active agent of the CIA so he should not hold the office of the President of Nigeria.
Owuru is asking the Supreme Court to pronounce him as Nigeria’s President and order his immediate inauguration to reclaim his usurped mandate.
The hearing notice for the suit reads: “Please kindly take note that SC/CV/667/2023 Chief Ambrose Albert Owuru & Anor VS President Muhammadu Buhari & 3 Ors at the Supreme Court of Nigeria sitting at Abuja is slated for the hearing of Motions on Monday 16/12/2024.”
