A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday rejected an ex-parte application seeking to restrain Mr. Aminu Tambuwal from further acting as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The applicant, a member
of the House House of Representatives, Mr. Abiodun Akinlade, had asked the
court to stop Tambuwal from parading himself as the Speaker, pending the
determination of his suit challenging his continued stay in office.
Instead of granting the
exparte application, Justice Ahmed Mohammed ordered the plaintiff to put
Tambuwal and other defendants in the suit on notice.
The judge ruled that it
would be "most unfair" to grant a restraining order sought through an
ex-parte application against Tambuwal who had engaged lawyers to defend him in
the suit.
The plaintiff is a member
of the Peoples Democratic Party representing Yewa South/Ipokia Federal
Constituency of Ogun State in the House of Representatives.
