Dim-Udebuani Marcel, an Abuja based lawyer in suit no. FHC/ABJ/CS/732/2015, filed on 31st August, 2015, by his counsel Jude Ifesemen, the plaintiff wants the court to determine whether the total of over 25 appointments made so far by President Buhari is not against the spirit of section 14(3) of 1999 constitution as amended. The President and the Chairman, Federal Character Commission Were joined as defendants.
“Whether the exclusion of South East geo-political zone in the 25 appointments made so far by the 1st defendant is unconstitutional and divisive?
“Whether there are no qualified and credible or corrupt free persons from the entire South East zone?
“Whether the 2nd defendant has in the circumstance of this case, discharged its statutory duties under paragraph 8(1), (a), (b) and (c) of the Third Schedule to the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)”.
The plaintiff prayed the court for an order compelling the 1st defendant (Buhari) to reverse the appointments so far made to observe and comply with the principle of Federal Character as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
