Ekejiuba sought disqualification in the suit which has been adjourned to February 1, 2023
However, Justice Nganjiwa chose the date after hearing the ex-parte application moved by Ekejiuba.
The application was for substituted service of the originating processes on respondents which the court granted an order to serve respondents at their respective headquarters in Abuja by substituted means.

According to the plaintiff, for President Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner to handover power to another northerner in the person of Atiku in 2023 is contrary to the convention on power shift between the north and south.
