Court dismisses lawsuit seeking to stop Tinubu

A lawsuit filed by three individuals seeking to stop the inauguration of President-elect, Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima over an alleged age falsification and citizenship status in the document submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, has been dismissed by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. 


Justice James Omotosho who presided over the lawsuit filed by Praise Ilemona Isaiah, Pastor Paul Isaac Audu and Anongu Moses, ruled on Friday, May 26, that it was frivolous and an abuse of court process.


Omotosho held that the plaintiffs lacked the locus standi to file the suit, adding that the court could not exercise jurisdiction to hear it because it relates to a presidential election.


This is coming after the Supreme Court dismissed another suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to void the candidacy of Tinubu and the Vice-president elect, Kashim Shettima, on grounds on double nomination.

Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, got emotional while discussing his government's policies amid his tariff war with the US. Recall that the U.S. imposed 25 percent tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada rocketing the country into a trade war on Tuesday.  However, just days later, Trump reversed his economic slap down saying that goods that are compliant with the North American free trade agreement will not be tariffed until April 2 and are apparently considering a similar carve-out for Canada.' During a press conference on Thursday, March 6, Trudeau got emotional while discussing his government's $10-a-day childcare policy. 'On a personal level, I made sure that every single day in this office, I put Canadians first and I have peoples' backs and that's why I'm here to tell you all that we got you, even in the last days of this government, we will not let Canadians down today and well into the future,' he said as he'd cle...

(AFP Photo) Donald Trump on Wednesday warned of intensified attacks on Gaza if all remaining hostages were not freed, while issuing an ultimatum for Hamas leaders to flee. The United States, meanwhile, confirmed unprecedented indirect talks with Hamas, which it proscribes as a "terrorist" group, focused on American hostages in Gaza. Strongly backing Israel as the cease-fire teeters, Trump said he was "sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job" as his administration expedites billions of dollars in weapons. "Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you," he wrote on his Truth Social platform after meeting freed hostages

The State Department has revoked the visa of a student who participated in protesting in favor of Hamas, a move in line with President  Donald Trump 's call for canceling visas of students involved in the anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses. The State Department confirmed the matter with Fox News, without identifying the student or what university they attended due to "legal constraints." "Yesterday evening, we revoked the first visa of an alien who was previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with Hamas-supporting disruptions," the State Department said. "This individual was a university student. ICE will proceed with removing this person from the country." The State Department reviewed over 100,000 student visas and none were revoked during the Biden administration, despite all the anti-Israel protests and disruptions on college campuses.  Trump has repeatedly called for foreign students attending American universities to have ...
