The CBN Governor Drops Presidential Ambition: Godwin Emefiele withdraws suit against INEC, AGF



The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Monday, withdrew the suit he filed against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation over his presidential ambition.

This development was made known via Godwin Emefiele's counsel, S.T. Maliki to Justice Ahmed Mohammed.

Shortly after the matter was called, S.T. Maliki made it known to the judge that a notice of discontinuance had been filed and served on the defendants in the matter.

Maliki, who held the brief of Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, said though the matter was scheduled for mention, they had Emefiele’s instruction to withdraw the suit.

Maliki said:

“Pursuant to the instruction of the plaintiff (Emefiele), we filed a notice of discontinuance dated and filed May 16, 2022

And the said notice of discontinuance was served on all the defendants on that said date of May 16, 2022, which proof of service is before your lordship."

The lawyer said of all the defendants, only the 4th and 5th defendants filed a counter affidavit in response to the plaintiff’s amended originating summons, after the notice of withdrawal had been served on them.

He therefore prayed the court to discontinue the suit and make an order striking it out, issues having not been joined by parties in the suits, citing Order 50 of the rules of this court.

Justice Mohammed held that Emefiele had the right to file the notice of withdrawal.

He said the notice of discontinuance was valid and accordingly struck out.
