Court Refuses To Stop Labour Party's Presidential Rally In Lagos As Lawyers Sue Peter Obi, Datti Baba-Ahmed, Others

Ten lawyers have dragged the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State, seeking an order to stop the "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally" slated for October 1, 2022.

The plaintiffs brought the Originating Summons pursuant to Section 6(6) (1) of Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), section of the Police Act. 2020, section (3) of the National Security Agencies Act Cap N74, Section 1(3) of the terrorism (prevention and prohibition) Act, 2022. Order 3. Rule 6 of the federal high court (civil procedure) rules 2019 and under the inherent jurisdiction of the court.

The suit which was marked FHC/L/CS/1720/22 had the ten lawyers who are the plaintiffs as: Adedotun Ajulo Esq; Salamatu Suleiman Lewi Esq; Hakeem Jaduola, Esq; Ogunbona Akinpelu Esq; Owolabi K. Oluwasegun, Esq; Mogbojuri Kayode Esq; Wuyep Mantin Nadom Esq; Dimimu Mabel Esq; Kolawole Salami, Esq and Wale Abe Lawrence.

Meanwhile apart from Peter Obi and the LP, other defendants are: Julius Abure, Esq; Inspector-General of Police; Commissioner of Police (Lagos State Command); Director General, (Department Of State Services); Lekki Concession Company Limited; Attorney-General of Lagos State and The Governor of Lagos State.

However, the court refused to rule in favour of the plaintiffs and failed to grant an ex parte injunction on Thursday.

The defendants had raised ten questions for the court to determine in granting the order sought if it was considered in affirmative.

Among the questions raised are “whether having regard to the true construction and intent of Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), and the resultant effect of the ENDSARS Protest of 2020 to destruction of lives and property, the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Defendants can hide under the guise of Right to peaceful assembly to endorse the Scheduled ENDSARS Anniversary, Protest, Rally tagged "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally" being organised by their agents, privies, assigns, or associates or howsoever described to come up on the 1 of October, 2022.”

The plaintiffs seek reliefs in the event that their questions were resolved in the positive; “a declaration of the court that having regard to the true constructive and intent of Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), and the resultant effect of the ENDSARS Protest of 2020 destruction of lives and property, the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Defendants cannot hide under the guise of Right to peaceful assembly to endorse the Scheduled ENDSARS Anniversary, Protest. Rally tagged "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally being organised by their agents privies assigns or associates to come up on the 1 of October,

“A declaration of this honorable court that the scheduled ENDSARS anniversary protest/rally tagged "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally being organized by the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Defendants or their agents and associates runs la dear collision with the unequivocal relevant provisions of Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.

“A declaration of this honorable court that, having regard to the statutory requirements as enshrined is Section 45 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Defendants are under legal obligation to forthwith hat organizing or disassociate themselves from the organizers of the END SARS Protest to come up on the 1 of October, 2022 as well as to issue public statements to halt the said protest as already scheduled for the interest of public safety and order.

“A declaration of this honorable court that the 9 Defendant is under legal duty, having regard to Section 15 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act setting out its corporate functions, to not open its space at the Lekki Toll Gate for the purposes of aiding and allowing the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Defendants as well as their agents, privies, assigns, allies and servants, the organizers of the END SARS anniversary protest/rally tagged "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally" to assemble on the 1 of October, 2022 for the purpose of celebrating the END SARS Protest Anniversary," among others.

Meanwhile, the plaintiffs’ efforts to obtain an ex parte injunction on Thursday failed as the presiding judge, Justice Osiagor refused to grant the prayers, stating that there was no evidence that October 1st rally was ENDSARS rally.

The court however adjourned the matter to 23rd of September 2022 for further hearing and directed the plaintiffs to put all the defendants/respondents on notice.

"Meanwhile the plaintiffs’ efforts to obtain an ex parte injunction on Thursday failed as the presiding judge, Justice Osiagor refused to grant the prayers, stating that there was no evidence that October 1st rally was ENDSARS rally...."

A hurricane is on the way and there is no stopping it. This is democracy and the right to peaceful protest is legal universally. The agbadorian and cassava crew think they are smart but they are not. The rally must hold and security must be provided

E go too loud for Lagos. LP will shut down Lagos.

Obi is a goal

Not even a trillion BATstards can stop the mother of all rally. Lagos will be painted OBI. Obidients let's go there, let's pepper dem agbadorians, let's show Dem what we are made of.

I can foresee so much crying and gnashing of teeth by Agbadorians.

By 1st October, 2023 election campaigns will have already started

And Labour Party cannot be stopped from holding a rally

agbadorians will be in severe headache now

Fear don dey torment Amoda and his rampaging urchins

It is better for obi es to take their so called rally away from Lagos ..


It is for their own good...

These people are making obi more popular.

Meanwhile, for those that said they won't vote Obi because of his aggressive ers read this msg from Mr macaroni.

Campaign starts September 28, that means by October 1 campaign should be all over the place.

Again I ask, if peter Obi is a structureless party, why then is Tinubu and Atiku greatly afraid of peter Obi? Why trying to stop the OBIDIENT rally? E shock them no be small, they never saw this coming! This is a clear identification that Obi is definitely heading to victory next year

Swears.

In a bid to pin the man down, they ended up making him more and more popular

Damn! Obi my real niggar

GoooodHardDick:

University of Chicago is different from Chicago state university. They are two different universities. Sink that into your skull.

Chicago state university has severally confirmed Tinubu and that was how the issue was laid to rest in 1999. Gani who's never lost a case lost that case and when he saw Tinubu's Chicago state university transcript which was first class, he had to bow because real recognises real.


Today, the same Chicago state university continues to disgrace anyone questioning Tinubu's certificate today. They've severally confirmed Tinubu. And no, Tinubu didn't say he lost his Bsc certificate to begin with, as peddled by pathological lying uselesssss people. Only his primary 6 certificate he claimed was missing. As a matter of fact, Tinubu was listed as one of the outstanding alumni of Chicago state university. See the attached below as well as Tinubu's Bsc certificate.

Let me add that no one is stopping anyone's rally. Just don't act like animals like you did during the endsar. If you want to act like animals, stick it to your enclave. Stick your lunacy to your enclave.

Salvador1:
it will even attract sympathy voters to him.

That means he'll win and defeat his rivals with a very wide gap! The wide gap will shock everyone especially APC ers

what God cannot do does not exist.

Tinubu don't want to loose his bullion vans... but he has lost already..

Salvador1:
what God cannot do does not exist.

Victory is assured already!

In God alone we trust

Thiefnibu built lagos! Thiefnibu built!!! But 70% of Lagosians are Obidients.

No be Juju be that

Why are they afraid of LP rally? Any approved party is free to hold rally I beg.

We Labour to achive our goals, and our labour shall never be in vain.
