AAC Sues President Tinubu Over Vacation Notification Violation
The African Action Congress (AAC) has initiated legal proceedings against President Bola Tinubu in the Federal High Court in Abuja, claiming he violated Section 145(1) of the Constitution by failing to transmit a written declaration to the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives before his vacation to Europe from 30 August to 28 September. The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2353/2026, also names the Attorney General of the Federation, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the National Assembly as defendants.
Filed by AAC's counsel, Mr. Inibehe Effiong, the suit seeks a perpetual injunction to prevent the President from taking vacations abroad without proper notification. The AAC argues that the President's failure to comply with constitutional requirements is undemocratic and a gross violation of the Constitution.
Effiong emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and stated that the court should determine the legality of the President's actions.
