A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking
to stop the swearing-in of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressive
Congress (APC), as Nigeria’s president.
With 8,794,726 votes, the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) had declared Tinubu the winner of the presidential poll held
on February 25.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/ 657/2023, the plaintiffs —
Praise Isaiah, Paul Audu and Anongu Moses — alleged that Tinubu lied on oath in
his form EC9 that he was not a citizen of another country.
They also alleged that the president-elect lied on oath about
his age.
