2019: President Buhari Is Mentally And Physically Unfit To Continue In Office – Opposition Parties File Lawsuit

2019: President Buhari Is Mentally And Physically Unfit To Continue In Office – Opposition Parties File Lawsuit

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) on Thursday said it
has initiated Legal Action at Federal High Court to stop President
Buhari from participating in 2019 election over what it described as
“his Mental and Physical instability.”

In a statement signed by Ikenga Imo ugochinyere, Cupp, First National
spokesperson, and Co-Plaintiff and CUPP member, Eunice Atuejide, the
CUPP also “raises alarm over DSS plot to flrame, arrest, charge and
eliminate Opposition Spokesperson Ikenga to stop him from releasing
fresh evidence of plot to steal 5b from DSS election account by former
DG DSS lawal Daura, and indicting documents of false assets declaration
by key Buhari government appointees.”

According to the statement, “the Opposition political parties have
carefully studied President Muhammadu Buhari over the months, especially
since his return to the country after the sickness that took him out of
Nigeria for the better part of 2017, and have come to the conclusion
that he is no longer mentally and physically fit to lead a nation like
ours in this century.”

The CUPP went further to provide examples to prove that the President
Buhari is not truly fit to carry on with the office and functions of a
president.

The statement reads in part:

“A few recent examples will be necessary here. One, you will recall
how the President almost fall flat on his face during his recent
campaign visit to Lokoja, Kogi State. Despite that he flew into the
town, the few steps the President took at the rally venue had a huge
toll on him. When he was invited to the podium, he lost balance
immediately he stood up. It was the timely intervention of his aides who
were already keeping their eyes on him since they know his health
status, that saved us what would have resulted into a national disaster.

A few days after the Kogi episode, a similar scenario played out at
the venue of his campaign rally in Kaduna. After he trekked a short
distance to his seat, President Buhari was clearly exhausted. He was
still managing to wave to those who were already at the venue when he
suddenly sunk heavily into his seat even at a time the national anthem
was being recited. The seat was his saving grace on that occasion.

Still on his uninspiring ongoing re-election campaigns, we are all
witnesses to the embarrassment President Buhari subjected the country to
in Warri, Delta State. When it was time for him to present his party’s
flag to the State governorship candidate, Great Ogboru, the President
embarrassingly referred to the man as “the presidential candidate.”
After those who surrounded him corrected him, President Buhari again
referred to Ogboru as “the senatorial candidate.” Again, he was
corrected and he came up with the most embarrassing one by saying the
man is the “governortorial” candidate. The President must be using a
different dictionary because the word “governortorial” does not exist in
any good dictionary.

You will also recall when he featured on a town hall meeting called
“The Candidates” which was broadcast live on the Nigerian Television
Authority. Among his various goofs at that event was when he was asked
why he is seeking second term and he said since the party leaders chose
him, he had to run.

All those who watched that programme will recall how Vice-President
Yemi Osinbajo who featured with him struggled very hard to come to his
rescue whenever he goes off the track which he did many times. This
probably explained why his men did not allow him to participate in the
presidential debate organised by the Nigeria Election Debate Group and
the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria.

We have come to the conclusion that re-electing Buhari will only
empower members of the cabal that his wife admitted has hijacked his
Presidency, to rule us for another four years from the dark.

In order to save this great nation the disaster that will follow if
President Buhari is in a rare happenstance re-elected, we the opposition
political parties have therefore filed litigation in court seeking to
declare him unfit to contest for 2019 election because of his mental
instability.

We are also seeking from the Court an Order disqualifying President
Muhammadu Buhari from contesting the election to the office President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and an injunction restraining INEC
from recognizing his candidacy. Nigerians will also be glad to know that
to prove that we are on the right path, we are also asking the court to
grant an order directing President Buhari to make public the results of
the medical examination which we ask that he be subjected to so that no
citizen will be in doubt that we are saving the country from calamity
by taking these steps.

Stopping President Muhammadu Buhari from foisting himself on Nigeria
come February 16th by every legitimate means is a patriotic service to
Nigeria.

God forbid we fail! God forbid! God forbid! God forbid!”l
