President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has reacted to the call
by the Hope Democratic Party, HDP, to stop President’s inauguration on May
29th.
HDP had
appealed to the Presidential Election Tribunal to restrain President Muhammadu
Buhari from his inauguration on May 29.
HDP made the appeal in a motion
filed before the tribunal which is also seeking an order restraining the Chief
Justice of Nigeria from swearing in, administering the oath of office and oath
of allegiance to the president on May 29th, 2019.
In a motion on notice made
available to journalists on Tuesday, the party filed the motion on 6 grounds
pursuant to section 1 subsection 2 of the 1999 constitution as amended and
under the jurisdiction of the tribunal.
The petitioners said, “The law is
settled that once the question of the validity of election of any person is
challenged as to whether he is validly elected or not, that person is not
competent to take office or assume the seat of power.
“The constitution of the federal
republic of Nigeria prohibits and forbids that Nigeria or any part thereof be
governed or taken over by any person or group of persons except in accordance
with the provisions of the constitution”.
But reacting, Onochie, in a tweet
on Wednesday morning wrote: “Tribunal Asked To Stop @MBuhari’s Inauguration–
@channelstv.
“Me: So they finally head for the
court after obtaining a post dated injunction to stop the people’s will on May
29th without a case in court; Laughable.
“Yes we know How? #HandOfEsau but
the #VoiceOfJacob, JOKERS!”
