 HOW THE FULANIS CONTROL AND DEVASTATE OUR YORUBA  WAY OF LIFE AND HERITAGE. 


Afoju ole joba lori eni toloju. The blind cannot rule or lead the people that can see with both eyes.


The Yoruba people have to understand one thing. The Fulanis have had an agenda to subjugate, devastate, and destroy all the institutions of Southern Nigeria, specifically the Yoruba infrastructures for over sixty years. That is why you have no water, electricity and or good roads. The Fulanis are not used to such a way of life, including education. They are nomadic people, and prefer to live in the forest with their cows. Only the elite amongst them who pretend to want modern day life, and they are willing to use every trick in the book to achieve their game plan for the contraption called Nigeria. 


The Fulani strategy is simple: they use the greedy and the elites amongst us  to mislead, oppress and deceive us. Abiola was their friend until he won a landslide election to take power from them. Their point man messenger  Babangida not only annulled the election, but Abacha made sure Abiola never lived to tell about his victory.


Tinubu thinks the Fulanis love him. Right!. Now that they have used Tinubu to almost complete their take over of Nigeria by appointing their Klans men and women to every position that is strategic in the power and financial structure of Nigeria, they are ready to dump the MUGU who should be referred to as “Jaga Bastard,   Jaga Bandit, or the Vagabond Jagajaga of Lagos. 


These so-called Yoruba leaders that are in bed with the Fulani hegemonists, pretend to be for our people while stealing us blind with the blessing of their half blind Fulani war lords. 


For example, Babalakin was used as the instrument to stop the issuing of certificates to 14,000 graduating students of the University of Lagos in 2019. 

The convocation was scheduled for March 9th 2020. Three days before the convocation, Babalakin sent a letter to Buhari’s minister of Education, Adamu Adamu to stop the convocation because the University is complicit in corrupt contract awards. .


The callous and insensitive minister promptly stopped the convocation and issuance of certificates to 14,000 Yoruba graduates including over 200 medical student graduates.


Let us not forget that Adamu was a special assistant to the same Buhari when he was put in charge  of the Petroleum Trust Fund.  Therein lies the conspiracy and the financial hegemony of the Fulanis. They put their cohorts in strategic areas of our economy, to steal, and or destroy our institutions. 


We are still looking for the missing money from the Trust Fund administered by Buhari and his assistant Adamu.


In a country where there are not enough medical doctors, the Federal Government of Nigeria does not think it is necessary to issue certificates to new graduates as it is massively divesting from the education of more students.


Why do you think the minister stopped the convocation of 14,000 graduating students of a South Western University? 


The answer is simple. The goal of the Fulani is to bring you to the same level as their nomadic people, who abhor education and any modern day life.


Do you think Adamu would have been able to stop the issuance of  certificates to any graduating class at Ahmadu Bello University?


At the same time that he issued an order to stop the convocation of the University of Lagos graduating students, he never issued such an order to Ahmadu Bello University.


Yet, no Yoruba elite, governor, pastor, senator, national assembly man or woman, prominent Nigerians saw it fit to protest or fight on behalf of these graduating students who were denied their rights. 


It is quite obvious that our people have been silenced, corrupted and or intimidated from even fighting for their own children. Where were the fathers and mothers of these 14,000 students?


Such is the plan of the Fulanis, to destroy our people eductionaly, intimidate them and conspire with greedy Yoruba leaders to oppress our people.


When the student’s situation was brought to my attention, I could not stomach it for one minute. For a whole week, I could not sleep. My heart was boiling mad with anger. I asked myself, why? How is this even possible in a normal country? 


In less than 30 days, I resolved the problem. I commissioned my attorney to issue a 7 day ultimatum to the minister and the university or take them to court and force them to explain themselves in a court of law and to the international community. 


We exerted the necessary pressure on the government, the minister and the university. 


The results came very fast because they know I don't make empty threats. 


After almost two years of wondering about the country's joblessness, I am happy to state that the students began to receive their certificates in the last few days starting May 10th 2021. 


Here’s a link to some of our demands on the government.


 UNILAG Bows to Pressure, Fix Date for Graduation of Ex-Students After Pressure*

https://www.independent.ng/unilag-bows-to-pressure-fix-date-for-graduation-of-ex-students-after-pressure-from-caser-dawodu/


Just like Yomi of Koiki Media stated, what happened to all the old Southern Industrialists? The Odutola tires, the Remo carpets, our cocoa and rubber plantations?  The Fulanis forced them out of business, usurped their properties, and forcibly took their factories, industries from them while creating a monopoly for their cohorts like Dangote.


I know this for a fact. My uncle Kolawole Koiki, former Chairman of the Nigerian National Salt Refining Company, was one of the old industrialists whose company was forcibly taken from him by the Fulani hegemonists.  My uncle built one of the first industrial complexes that would have industrialized Nigeria in the seventies. After returning from the UK as an engineer, he worked for the old Electric Corporation of NIgeria, (ECN)  later known as  NEPA.


The so called Baba, as some misguided Yorubas like to refer to Obasanjo, the  conniving bastard and traitor of the Yoruba people, was the military head of state of NIgeria when the Fullani “rulers” of Nigeria, namely the likes of Ahmed Joda, Liman Adamu Ciroma forced Obasanjo to promulgate a devastating decree that seized the Nigerian National Salt Company founded by my uncle with his sweat and money.  


For those of you who have no clue who Ahmed Joda is or Liman Adamu Ciroma was, Let me give you a little history. 


Ahmed Joda has been one of the powers behind every successive government in Nigeria since the late 1950s.

T

He was one of those so-called super permanent secretaries that got hold of the Nigeria government after the coup that brought Gowon to power.  Ciroma also had a hand in every coup led by the Fulani armed forces of Nigeria during the 70s, 80s, and maybe 90s.


Ahmed Joda, had a hand in every coup as the point man fostering the agenda of the Fulanis. Why do you think there was a Yar'adua in every successive Nigerian government, even up till now, if you dig deep, you’ll find a Yardua in a prominent position in the Nigerian government.  That is the Fulani agenda.  These group of people have been known as the “K Kaduna Mafia by enlightened Nigerians who knowsNigeria’s real history. That is why Obasnjo made him the first Chairman of the Nigerian Communication Commission from 1999-2007,  so he can be the point guard for the new Nigerian mobile phone revolution.  The only name Nigerians knew was engineer Earnest Ndukwe, who was ceremonially referred to as the Executive Vice Chairman, to run the show while Ahmed Joda took most of the licensing fees back to his Fulani Kaduna Mafia.


That is why Buhari appointed Ahmed Joda the Chairman of his transition government when he “won” his so-called victory in the election that removed Jonathan. People who are vast in Nigerian political intelligence know exactly what I am talking about.


More About this history of Ahmed Joda. Liman Adamu was minister of industry during Muritala Muhamed’s reign as head of state of Nigeria.  When Obasanjo took over from Muritala, he was forced  to bring back most of the super permanent secretaries that were retired because they all found to be corrupt and a bad influence on Nigeria's existence.

 

Amongst them was Liman Adamu Ciroma, whom he made secretary to the government . 

Liman promptly reached out to his cohort Kaduna Fulani  mafia brethren Ahmed,and imposed him as the permanent secretary ministry of industry, over and above all other qualified Southerners..

Ahmed Joda’s role was to be the new point guard for the perpetuation of the Fulani hegemony. His fist task was to wrestle the Nigerian National Salt Company from the hands of the Southern.

 

This same salt company was eventually acquired for peanuts with our money by their brother in hegemony pretending to be an industrialist with our southern money and resources. The Dantatas and Dangotes of Nigeria.

 


 Ahmed Joda was the minister of industry in 1978 when Obasnjo’s government seized my uncle’s assets and properties. 



“Only in Nigeria can the government seize a citizen's property without compensation, and the same government would immediately decree that the affected citizen cannot seek redress in court. 


Decree Number 27, was specifically promulgated to forcefully seize the assets and properties of my uncle, Engineer Kolawole Koiki by the government of Nigeria under the military regime of Olusegun Obasanjo.


DECREE No. 27  , September 20th 1978


Nigeria’s official Gazette No. 45, Vol 65 5th October, 1978 Part A


NEW NIGERIA SALT COMPANY LIMITED (TAKE OVER)

DECREE 1978


The Federal Government of Nigeria hereby decrees as follows----


  1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other enactment, all shares of whatever description and however held in the company known as the New Nigeria Salt company Limited (other than shares help by the Federal Military Government) are hereby forfeited to the Federal Military Government free of all encumbrances without any further assurance apart from this decree.

  2. --(1) The Commissioner shall cause a copy of this Decree to be served upon the secretary or other officer or agent of the company having charge of, or control over, the register of members of the company and the secretary or other officer or agent aforesaid shall strike out the name of the holder of any share to which section 1 of this Decree relates and substitute therefor the name of the Federal Military Government.

 (2) The Commissioner shall likewise cause a copy of this Decree to be served upon the Register of Companies who shall similarly rectify his records relating to the names of members of the company accordingly.


  1. --- (1) All persons rectifying any register or other records of or relating to, the company in pursuance of this Decree shall stand indemnified in respect thereof and no suit or other legal proceedings shall lie at the instance of any person aggrieved for anything done in  intended pursuance of this Decree.

    (2) The question whether any provision of Chapter 111 of the Constitution of the Federation has been, is being or would be contravened by anything done or proposed to be done in pursuance of this Decree shall not be inquired into in any court of law and accordingly, sections 31, 32, and 117 (2) (b) of the constitution shall not apply in relation to any such question.


This is the most egregious act of any government against its own citizens. This can happen to any Nigerian today. 


My uncle founded the company, and invited the Federal Government of Nigeria as a partner and gave them 51% of the shares of the company, while he controlled 49% of the shares.


This Decree essentially meant, the Nigerian Military government forcefully seized my uncle's shares and then told him he cannot go to court.


This act is worse than a death sentence. Essentially, the Nigerian Government took away my uncle’s rights and killed his spirits. By the grace of God, and at 94 years old, my uncle is still active and fighting for the return of his company. 


Guess who was the lawyer that crafted the decree for them? Another Yoruba traitor in the likes of Obasanjo. 


Most of our current politicians, including the so called “Vagabond” of Lagos or the omo ale calling himself omo eko, the Tinubus, do not have a clue, because their greed prevents them from educating themselves about the Fulani Agenda, or their ambition has so blinded them, they are willing to sacrifice their race for the few Naira they are stealing from us and the Fulani patronage they think they enjoy. 


That is the same strategy they continue to , as recently as 2019 by stopping the issuance of certificates to 14,000 brilliant Yoruba graduating youths, in an attempt to destroy our children's future or bring them to the level of their own children who refused to go to school.  


They always use the traitors amongst us to destroy us. As our people say, Eyinkunle lota wa,, ile laseni ngbe. The enemy is never in the backyard, he is inside your house and or amongst your family.” 

The enemies of the Yoruba people are their leaders and we should start by eliminating them by any means necessary one way or the other. 


The Obasnjos, the Babalakins, and now the Governors,the Obas, the Senators and other Yoruba leaders are being used to suppress our people, devastate our land by destroying our farms, kidnaping the farmers and preventing our people from growing their own food.


Our people always say, “Ibanuje mo niwon fun eni to ri gari wa mu '' If you can get Gari to drink, your misery is minuscule. Since our people cannot farm, they can hardly grow cassava to even drink Gari for lunch or eat eba for dinner.


We should not let ignorance or fear stop us from following leaders like Yomi Koiki, Sunday Igboho,who are not afraid to lay their lives down for our people, our culture and our way of life .


The United States of America enjoys the freedom it has today because our patriots were prepared to lay down their lives for their country and the freedom of their people.


Until we cultivate such bravery as Yoruba people, we will never be free from the Fulani stranglehold on our race, our land, our children, our farm lands and our people


FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. 


Just like Yomi stated, the Fulanis are not happy that the Yoruba are the most enterprising, most educated, most sophisticated, most travelled, most hardworking, most cultured and most accommodating. But enough is enough. We are tired of being deceived by our so-called leaders, and we are prepared to target rid of  these leaders from our society. 


The reason Nigeria had successive coupswas to enable the Fulanis seize control by force and to devastate our assets, institutions, infrastructure so they can bring us to their level of nomadic life. The only reason Fulanis stopped fomenting coups in Nigeria, was because they ran out of coup makers. The class of late 1950 and early 1960 that were put through Zaria military school by the late Sardauna had one mandate. Rule and control Nigeria for your Fulani people by hook or crook, by coup or trickery, by force or war. Yet, our Yoruba leaders continue to look the other way while a blind man shows up every day trying to reign over a person with a 20/20 vision. 


God forbid. Our forefathers have said it. “Kaka ka dobale fun Gambari/Fulani, karoju ku”


We should all be prepared to die, rahter than continue a life of subjugation and slavery to the people who by linage have a completely diferent lifestyle from our own.


Fulanis prefer to wander the forests with their cows, that is their life. But they do not have the right to make us do the same or force us to give up our land so they can continue their abnormal lives at our expense.


Wake up my fellow Yorubas, let us liberate our people, and be prepared to fight until death if necessary. Don’t be a coward. As Julius Caesar once stated, “Cowards die many times before their death. Valiants die only once. Since death is a necessary end, it will come when it will come.”  yourbas, Be Prepared! 


We must support the braves amongst us, silently and or openly. Give your full support to Yomi Koiki, Sunday Igboho, and all our brave young men and women that are leading this revolution for the liberation of our people and our way of life. May God bless and protect our warriors and front line leaders.  


Long live the Yoruba Nation, Long live Oduduwa Republic.

IS NIGERIAN PRESIDENT BEING HELD AGAINST HIS WILL?

For immediate release

For more information, Please contact Toyin Dawodu, 951-344-1642

IS NIGERIAN PRESIDENT BEING HELD AGAINST HIS WILL?

THE LAWSUIT FILED AT THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT IN ABUJA NIGERIA.  CASE NUMBER FHC/ABJ/CS/508/2017

TO COMPEL THE SENATE OF NIGERIA TO CONSTITUTE A MEDICAL PANEL TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH STATUS OF PRESIDENT BUHARI. 



Riverside, CA 6/28/17- A few weeks ago, I instructed my attorneys from Forthright Chambers and lawyers for Citizens Advocacy of Nigeria to file a lawsuit compelling the Nigerian Senate to constitute  a medical panel to determine if President Buhari is capable of discharging his constitutional duties.

Several reports have indicated that the country is being controlled by a group of unelected bureaucrats whose motives may not align with the aspirations of most Nigerians.

Reports have also indicated that our elected President is in such a medical incapacitation that even his wife is not allowed to see him in his incapacitated state. 
It is possible, that President Buhari is being held by his handlers against his will and Nigerians deserve to know his current status and his where about.

This Press release explains my rational for the lawsuit to all Nigerians and other well-wishers of Nigeria.

In 2014, I campaigned to elect then General Buhari to be elected President of Nigeria. Here's a link to the video I uploaded to YouTube as my support for his candidacy.  goo.gl/P2EExJ

A full copy of the law suit can be found on my blog at www.amazingtoyin.blogspot.com  (see below)

My admiration for President Buhari dates back to his first foray as head of state. In 1985, I expressed this admiration by contacting him through the Nigerian Embassy.

In my letter, to him and his administration, I outlined how he could make Nigeria a great nation economically by focusing on our strategic assets of both human and natural resources.

Unfortunately his administration was short lived.

Fast forward 2014. After three tries, he succeeded in becoming the head of state. 

My support for him in the last election was based on my inclination that President Buhari can finally finish the job he started 30 years earlier.

Regardless of his current policy failures, I and millions of Nigerians are now convinced that the President, despite all his intentions, is incapable of discharging his duties. Therefore, he should resign or be forced to do so, by the Senate, or the executive council as prescribed in the Nigerian constitution. . 
The Nigerian electorate voted for Buhari as head of state.

Currently we have an acting President.

The problem with the current situation is that the acting president is not fully in charge of the country.
There is no proof that any elected official, including leaders of both houses of assembly have seen the President in the last several weeks.

There is no proof that even the vice President or any member of the cabinet of President Buhari has spoken to him in his current incapacitated state.

I love and respect President Buhari and I wish and pray fervently for God to give him strength to gain back his health.
But I love Nigerian more. I fear for my country, I fear for the future of millions of Nigerians both living and unborn.
Therefore, I cannot stand by and allow the current leadership vacuum that exists in out polity to continue.

There are several current agitations for the restructuring of Nigeria.
If Nigeria needs a strong leader, it is now. Unless a strong leader emerges that has the full authority of Nigerians, the country may descend into chaos.

Our elected leader is indisposed, due to no fault of his own.

Therefore, if we love our country, we must collectively urge our President to face his health issues and let Nigeria be led fully by a capable Vice President as prescribed by the constitution.

As it stands, the Vice President takes direction from the so called Cabal, who passes such instruction under the pretext that they come from the President. 

No one can confirm the present condition of the President. As such, it is now incumbent on the elected members of the Nigerian Senate to stand up and be counted to save Nigeria in its hour of need.

I am also urging every Nigerian to impress upon their Senators to discharge their duty by constituting a medical panel as prescribed by the constitution to determine if President Buhari is capable of discharging his duty.

That is the basis of my lawsuit.

I love President Buhari and wish him speedy recovery, but I love Nigeria more.
May God bless all of us and bless Nigeria.

I, Otika Izuchukwu Stephen, 28 Years Old, Male, Christian, Legal Officer of Forthright Chambers, Citizen of Nigeria, and Residing at plot 120, Road 9, E27 Estate, Apo New Town, Apo, Abuja DO MAKE OATH AND STATE AS FOLLOWS:
     1.        That I am the litigation counsel of Forthright Chambers and by virtue of my position I am familiar with the facts which constitute the grounds of this suit.

    2.        That I have the consent and authority of the Plaintiff and my employer to depose to this Affidavit.

    3.        That the Plaintiff is a citizen of Nigeria based in the United States of America.

    4.        That the Plaintiff is a registered voter in Nigeria, copy of the Applicant’s  voter’s card is herein annexed and marked as Exhibit “A”

    5.        That the Plaintiff by e-mail to Forthright Chambers (forthrightlaw@gmail.com) and subsequently by phone conversation on the 26th of May, 2017, instructed us to file this suit and accordingly informed me of the following facts which I verily believe to be true:
    6.        That the Senate President and the Executive Council of the Federation be compelled to ensure that there is a comprehensive medical examination that would disclose the nature of President Buhari’s illness so that Nigerians can be sure that the person they elected is of sound mind and body to continue to discharge his role as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    7.        That on the same 26th of May, 2017  at about 16 hours GMT or thereabout the Plaintiff engaged me in a long open  phone conversation wherein he expressed his mind further on the issue of the president’s health and I took the following statements which I verily believe to be true and his true positions on the issue regarding the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari as  follows:

a.    That he, Toyin Dawodu, the Plaintiff herein is instituting this suit in the public interest and not in any way against the person of President Muhammadu Buhari whom he campaigned for during the 2015 general elections, strongly believing in his personal capabilities to govern and transform Nigeria from the economic malaise foisted on the people by the preceding administrations led by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

b.    That from the many newspaper reports published in Nigeria and abroad, it is believed that the President is seriously ill and possibly has a health challenge of such a serious nature that would affect his capability to discharge the duties and functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

c.    That the subject matter of the health status and nature of President Muhammadu Buhari’s sickness is such a matter of national concern, the details of which should be fully disclosed and made public. 

d.    That where the nature of the President’s sickness is of such  that he can no longer discharge the duties and functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it would be in the national interest to advise him to resign.

e.    The state of President Muhammadu Buhari’s illness demands the resolution by the Executive Council of the Federation  whether he is able to discharge the duties and functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

f.    That the Federal Executive Council is unlikely and unwilling to exercise its constitutional responsibility of determining by resolution, whether the President is able to discharge the duties and functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

g.    That President Buhari has been in London for a medical leave since 7th of May, 2017.

h.    That before President Buhari left for London, in a letter to the National Assembly, transmitting power to the Vice President, he said the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will “coordinate” the nation’s affairs while he is abroad for medical treatment.

i.     That Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is fettered even in his capacity to fully discharge the functions and responsibilities of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and serve Nigerians adequately while President Buhari is away.

j.     That it is important to determine the health status of President Buhari and the nature of his sickness in order to advise him to either resign or be impeached.

k.    That President Buhari’s continued absence without details on his state of health and nature of his sickness creates such a state of uncertainty that it  has seriously affected the governance of the Federation.

l.      That nearly all political appointments such as those of ministers were made by President Buhari himself thus creating a loyalty deficit for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the constitution.

m.   That in the continued absence of President Buhari, many of the political appointees who are unelected are currently running a shadow administration.
  
n.    That there is no point keeping the administration of the Federation bogged down by President Buhari’s illness.

o.    That it is in the public interest that the health status of the president be disclosed publicly
    8.        That I make this oath in good faith, conscientiously believing its contents to be true and in accordance with the Oath Act currently in force.

WRITTEN ADDRESS IN SUPPORT OF ORIGINATING SUMMONS
1.0      Introduction
1.1          The Plaintiff who is a citizen of Nigerian by this Originating Summons filed in compliance with Order ,,,, seeks the interpretation of Section 144 … of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as to the exercise of authority, duty and responsibility in determining when a the  President of Nigeria has become incapable of discharging the futies and functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
1.2         The Originating Summons is supported by a … paragraph  affidavit in support, together with this written address.

2.0      Factual Background
2.1         The Plaintiff begs to refer to the depositions contained therein in the supporting affidavit and by emphasis states that the facts upon which the Plaintiff relies are notorious in nature.

2.2        Thus, the main facts are that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has been reportedly ill and has been away from Nigeria for a period that is more than 40 days. There are wide speculations that the nature of the President’s illness is such it would affect his discharge of the functions, duties and responsibilities of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  

3.0      Issue / Question for Determination

Whether in the absence of a resolution by the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF) as required by Section 144 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Altered), can the Senate President constitute a medical panel to determine the health status of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ?

OR;
Whether the Senate President can constitute a medical panel to determine   the health status or medical fitness of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria where it is not reasonably possible for the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF) to so ascertain ?

4.0      Argument in Support
4.1.     The above issue / question for determination is made in the alternative for emphasis and clarification of the sole question for determination which revolves around  whether the Resolution of the 2nd Defendant, the EXCOF as contained in Section 144 (1) (a) is a condition precedent for the 1st Defendant to set up a Medical Panel to determine in case of illness, whether the President is incapable of discharging the functions of the office of the President of Nigeria.
4.2     We submit most humbly from the outset that from the totality of the provisions of Section 144 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the 1st Defendant can set up a Medical panel to determine the medical fitness of the President as to whether or not being incapable to discharging the functions of the office of the President of the federal republic of Nigeria whenever the need arises.
4.3.    The subject of determining the medical fitness of the person of the President as to whether he is incapable of discharging the functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a determination of fact which is medical in nature and such duty can only be carried out by a panel of persons learned in medicine and not politics.
4.4     Therefore, it could not have been the intention of Section 144 of the Constitution that the health status of the President can only be determined when the 2nd Defendant who are the political appointees of the President himself and are so subject to him to also now be the ones to determine whether the president at any particular given time, is medically fit or not to discharge his duties and functions as president. There would therefore be a shortage of fairness and transparency in that regard where only the president’s appointees are the ones to initiate the process of inquiring into the health status of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria..
4.5.    There would be a ready concession to the interpretation of Section 144 (1) (a) to import that for the purpose of determining whether the person of the President is incapable of discharging the functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the 2nd Defendant does have the duty and responsibility to vote on such a resolution as to the medical fitness of the President but regarding the question of determining the general health status of the person of the President  even where the 2nd defendant has not voted on a resolution regarding the medical fitness of the President, the 1st  Defendant is empowered by Section 144 (4) whenever the health status of the president has become a national issue as the case in point, to set up a medical panel.
4.6.    In the construction of statutory powers and duties, Section 10 (2) of the Interpretation Act CAP. 124, LFN 2004 provides as follows that:
      An enactment which confers power to do any act shall be construed as also conferring all such other powers as are reasonably necessary to enable that act to be done or are incidental to the doing of it.
4.7.   Therefore, the power of the 1st Defendant according to Section 144 (4) of the Constitution, to constitute or set up a medical panel to determine the health status of the person of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is for all purposes and intent to the effect  that where and whenever that it is  reasonably necessary to do so, vested in the 1st Defendant who shall exercise such a power, in this case in the public interest where there has been a growing concern among the likes of the Plaintiff, who is a bonafide citizen of Nigeria and is concerned about the health of President Muhammadu Buhari whom he worked so hard to elect as President but he is being kept in the dark regarding the health status of the President.

5.0. Conclusion
We submit respectfully, that the health status of the President is a  public matter and it behoves on both the 1st and 2nd  Defendants  to carry out their constitutional duties under Section 144 of the Constitution for  it is for these circumstances  that were contemplated by Section 144 of the Constitution where the health status  of the President has now become an issue of national concern; Whereas, either the 1st or 2nd Defendant who possess constitutional duty is yet to discharge such a responsibility. This is particularly so when there is a faulty presumption, as we have submitted above that the 1st Defendant’s act of constituting a medical Panel to determine the health status of the President.
We therefore urge that the provisions of Section 144 of the Constitution be considered in light of the present circumstances in Nigeria and we urge the court to consequently grant the following reliefs:
1.      A DECLARATION that the 1st Respondent, Dr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is empowered by Section 144  (4) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Altered) to appoint a Medical Panel to determine the health status of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,  without first being, a resolution of the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF)  on the medical fitness or incapability of President Muhammadu Buhari to discharge the functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

2.     A DECLARATION that the 2nd Respondent, the Executive Council of the Federation (EXCOF) can vote on a resolution on the medical fitness or incapability of President Muhammadu Buhari to discharge the functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, based on the report of a Medical Panel set up by the 1st Respondent, Dr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 

3.     AN ORDER OF MANDATORY INJUNCTION directing the 1st Respondent, Dr Bukola Saraki, the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to set up a medical panel according to Section 144 (4) in order to determine health status of Muhamadu Buhari, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

4.     AN ORDER OF MANDATORY INJUNCTION directing the 2nd Defendant to convene a meeting, as required by Section 144 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Altered) in order to consider and vote on a resolution regarding the fitness or incapability of President Muhammadu Buhari to discharge the functions of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, based on the report of the Medical Pa nel set up by the 1st Respondent.

5.     FURTHER OR OTHER ORDERS as this Honourable Court may deem fit to make in the circumstances.
