Ghani vs FRN

Conduct established under Item 3 Part 1 of the 5th
Schedule to the Constitution because these
payments are obviously made into the private
accounts of these Ministers which they maintained
abroad contrary to the Code of Conduct which the
President swore to abide by in the Oath of
Allegiance or Oath of Office of the President
contained in the 7th Schedule of the Constitution to
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

Learned Counsel maintained that the Constitution
states that a breach of the Oath of Allegiance or
Oath of Office is an act of Misconduct. He referred
the court to Item 19 Part 1 of the 5th Schedule to
the Constitution. He contended that in the face of
such breaches of constitutional and statutory
provisions, who then has locus standi to complain?
Learned counsel submitted that what determines
locus standi had been succinctly stated in the cases
of: Gani Fawehinmi v. Col.Halilu Akilu & Anor.
