Breaking Down the Tinubu Impeachment Suit: What’s Really at Stake?

GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu

In recent days, Nigeria's political landscape has been abuzz with discussions surrounding a legal action aimed at President Bola Tinubu. This lawsuit, initiated by attorney Olukoya Ogungbeje, seeks to compel the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against the President. The case has garnered significant attention, prompting debates about its legal foundations and potential political ramifications.

The Genesis of the Impeachment Suit

The lawsuit, filed in September 2024, centers on the government's response to the #Hunger protests that occurred from August 1 to 10, 2024. Ogungbeje alleges that the administration's actions during these demonstrations amounted to gross misconduct, thereby justifying impeachment proceedings. He contends that the suppression of peaceful protests violated citizens' fundamental rights, a claim that forms the crux of his legal argument.

The President's Legal Counter

In response, President Tinubu, alongside Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has filed a preliminary objection to the suit. They argue that Ogungbeje lacks the legal standing to initiate such a case and that the lawsuit fails to present a valid cause of action. Furthermore, they assert that the measures taken during the protests were lawful and necessary to maintain public order. 

Legal Perspectives on the Impeachment Suit

The case raises pertinent questions about the legal thresholds for impeachment in Nigeria. Section 143 of the Nigerian Constitution outlines the process for impeaching a sitting president, specifying that allegations must involve "gross misconduct." However, the term "gross misconduct" is not explicitly defined, leaving room for interpretation. Legal experts suggest that for the suit to succeed, it must clearly demonstrate that the President's actions during the #Hunger protests constituted such misconduct.

Political Implications and Public Discourse

Beyond the courtroom, this case has significant political implications. It underscores the tensions between the government's duty to maintain order and citizens' rights to peaceful assembly. The outcome could set a precedent for how future protests are managed and how governmental accountability is enforced. Public opinion is divided, with some viewing the suit as a necessary check on executive power, while others see it as a politically motivated distraction.

What Lies Ahead?

The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled a hearing for March 4, 2025, to address the preliminary objections raised by the President and the Attorney General. As the legal process unfolds, it will be crucial to monitor both the judicial proceedings and the broader public reaction. The case not only tests the robustness of Nigeria's legal frameworks but also reflects the nation's democratic maturity in handling dissent and upholding the rule of law.

Join the Conversation

With the Tinubu impeachment suit making headlines, the debate on governance, accountability, and citizens' rights is more relevant than ever. Do you think this case will lead to a major shift in Nigeria’s political landscape, or is it just another legal challenge that will eventually fade away? Share your thoughts in the comments below—let's discuss!

Malik Obama! Barack Obama's half-brother endorses Donald Trump presidential bid. What you need to know behind the scenes

Malik and Barack Obama


The internet presence has gone agog following the announcement of Malik Obama, half-brother of former US president Barack Obama, decision to support Donald Trump for president.


This was disclosed on his Twitter page. This also follows alleged controversies amidst the strained relationship between him and his brother, Barack Obama. 



Malik Obama, a Kenyan-American businessman, has over time made headlines for his unexpected political endorsements and personal controversies as opposed to his half-brother. 


Malik's bond with Barack has worsened over years as speculated by reports. Malik had once criticized the former president for not supporting a foundation he established in their father's name, this coupled with his numerous dissatisfaction over the leadership style of Barack Obama during his tenure.


Malik Obama who serves as the lead ambassador for Puppet, a software configuration management tool, has been a supporter of Trump since 2016. He recently praised Trump's straightforwardness and his campaign slogan "Make America great again". 


Malik's disappointment with his half-brother involvement that led to Muammar Gaddafi's death has further constrained the brothers' relationship.
