Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and four others before a Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking enforcement of his right to contest the 2023 Presidential election without resigning from his current position.

His suit with No FHC/ABJ/CS/610/2022 instituted on his behalf by a Constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has been fixed for hearing today, Monday.

Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed slated the case for hearing by 12 noon, along with two other matters.

As of the time of this report, followers of Emefiele have already jam-packed the court to witness proceedings.
