The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court is at the
moment hearing an ex-parte motion seeking to disqualify Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila
from emerging as the speaker of the House of Representatives tomorrow.
Justice Abdul Kafarati is presiding over the suit which was
lodged before the high court by the Registered Trustees of Social Justice and Civil
Right Awareness Initiative.
The group, in the suit filed pursuant to Order 26 Rule 8 of
the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules, 2009. Is contending that Hon.
Gbajabiamila is not morally fit to head
the Lower House of the National Assembly in Nigeria, alleging that he was
previously “convicted in the state of Georgia for unethical practices and was
debarred as a lawyer for 36 months”.
The ex-parte motion is being argued on behalf of the group
by Human Right lawyer, Chief Mike Ozehkome, SAN.
