THE Federal High Court, Abuja Division yesterday gave its nod to a suit filed by a rights group – Registered Trustees of Social Justice and Civil Rights Awareness Initiative – seeking to restrain the sole candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Gbajabiamila from emerging as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In a suit filed on their behalf by Mike Ozekhome (SAN), the Initiative had approached the court through an ex-parte application praying for an order of court to stop Gbajabiamila from parading himself as a member of the House of Representatives and also an aspirant for the office of the Speaker.
Listed as defendants alongside Gbajabiamila are House of Representatives and the Attorney General of the Federation. When the matter came up yesterday, the trial judge, Justice Abdul Kafarati who heard the matter in Chamber ordered the plaintiff to put the defendants on Notice to come and show cause why the reliefs of the plaintiff should not be granted.
