Actor/Lawyer Sues President Buhari Over Ministerial Appointments

Barrister and actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has
sued President Buhari to Court over
ministerial appointments. The suit which
comes up in the Federal High Court, Abuja
with suit no: FHC/ ABJ / CS / 34 / 16 was
to compel the President to appoint an
indigene of the FCT as a Minister in
Nigeria.
Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo said : “On
November 11th, 2015, President
Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated 36
ministers from the 36 states of Nigeria
without appointing an indigene of the
Federal Capital Territory as Minister. This
is unconstitutional and discriminatory and
has led to tensions in the FCT as the
indigenes are becoming restive. All efforts
to get the President to appoint an
indegene of the FCT failed hence the need
for this suit to compel the President to do
the needful and avert a possible break
down of law and order with catastrophic
consequences in the FCT”.
