A lawyer and rights activist, Kabir Akingbolu has dragged President Muhammadu Buhari before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos over his failure to make adequate provision for the production and supply of petroleum products to all citizens at regulated prices.
Akingbolu, in the suit, has the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, as the second defendant.
The lawyer is contending that considering the nature and extent of inconveniences which the citizens of the country were being subjected to by the lack of petroleum products, especially the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), the failure of Buhari, as the Chief Executive Officer of the country, to act by making the products sufficiently available, was capable of causing breach of peace and serious discomfiture for the citizenry.
He is praying the court to determine whether the failure of the president to address the scarcity by the President was a breach of the oath of office he took on May 29, 2015 and a violation of the clear and unambiguous provisions of Section 130 (1) & (2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
Akingbolu is asking the court to declare that the failure of the defendants (Buhari and AGF) to make available petroleum products as a breach of oath of office, and that the failure to fix the refineries in the country was equally a breach of the constitutional obligation of the president.

I strongly advise this so call lawyer to look for a better case to handle. I can see that he has no focus on his job.
ReplyDeleteHe is not serious. At all !!!
DeleteLooking for fame by all means.
ReplyDeleteHe has no better thing doing.
He is an idle charge and bail lawyet that wants to be noticed
ReplyDeleteThis is Nigeria will remain Nigeria. Other parts of this world, this is how to get a leader focused and to sit up and work. Here instead of appraising the courage of the lawyer, we are derogatorily commenting on his noble applaudable actions! It would rather have been better if we check the sections of the constitution that he is quoting to see if they are off point or if they don't apply before relegating his actions as lifebouy in the Nigerian ocean of quagmires
