, Godwin Emefiele, against the Independent National Electoral Commission and the attorney general of the federation over his presidential ambition.
Emefiele had through his counsel, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, applied for an order of status quo ante bellum to be made against INEC and AGF so that he would not be made to resign from office until 30 days to the general election. In an ex-parte application argued in court, Emefiele denied being a political appointee but a public servant not caught by section 84 of the new Electoral Act 2022.
The CBN governor asked the court to invoke section 318 of the 1999 Constitution to bar the defendants from asking him to vacate office until 30 days to the February 2023 presidential election. Emefiele expressed apprehension that sale and submission of presidential nomination form would expire on 11th May 2022 and that unless the INEC and AGF are ordered to maintain status ante bellum as at May 5 when he filed the suit, he would be made to vacate office before his form would be accepted by the appropriate authority.Instead, the judge ordered him to put the defendants on notice and also serve court processes on the defendants.
