The Federal High Court ‘9’ sitting in Abuja, on Friday, dismissed the suit instituted against the President-elect Bola Tinubu over alleged perjury perpetrated by him as presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The suit sought to stop the inauguration of Tinubu as president pending the determination of the outcome of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), currently ongoing at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
However, delivering judgement, the court declined jurisdiction, stating that the matter is a post-election one and ought to be filed at the Court of Appeal that has the jurisdiction and is already exercising same.
The judge described the suit as vexatious and aimed at tarnishing the image of the court.
He dismissed the suit as frivolous and an abuse of court process.
