Ruling on the preliminary objection filed by counsel to Senator Sunmonu, challenging the jurisdiction of the court on the matter, among other issues was also fixed for the same date. In the suit delineated FHC/ABJ/CS/760/201 and filed on September 14, 2015 by five voters from Oyo Central Senatorial district, the claimants are asking the court to remove Sunmonu from office for alleged voluntarily acquisition of the United Kingdom citizenship and compel INEC to withdraw her certificate of return as well as bar her from parading herself as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The claimants; Wahab Abiodun, Alhaji Bola Akinyemi, Chief Emmanuel Olajide, Chief Samuel Elegbede and Chief Thomas Ajao joined alongside Senator Sunmonu as respondent in the suit, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). While moving his preliminary objection before the court, counsel to Senator Sunmonu, Mr Tola Oshobi, described the matter as an election matter which had already been decided in favour of the defendant by the election petition tribunal and the Appellate Court.]]>
