The Supreme Court on Monday struck out the suit by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP-led) states against the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State, by President Bola Tinubu.
The apex court in a split judgment of six-to-one, held that the court lacked the necessary jurisdiction to entertain the suit brought the the 11 PDP states, which are the plaintiff in the matter.
According to the majority judgment, the plaintiffs could not establish any cause of action that would warrant the apex court to activate its original jurisdiction to hear the matter.
