A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday thrashed a bid by a factional group in the Action Alliance (AA) party to stop the certificate forgery suit instituted against the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The bid by the group loyal to Tinubu and led by Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje was rejected by the Federal High Court from being joined as an interested party to defend Tinubu in the certificate forgery suit brought against him by the AA party.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu in a ruling on the joinder application of Omo-Aje and his faction threw out the request on the grounds that conditions precedent for such joinder to be granted were not placed before the court.
Amongst others, Justice Egwuatu held that Omo-Aje did not establish his claim as National Chairman of the AA and also did not disclose how his interest would be jeopardized if not joined as a defendant in the suit.
Justice Egwuatu while dismissing the joinder request held that the group remains a meddlesome interloper and busybody until their interests likely to be affected are clearly established.
