A lawmaker representing Ilaje Constituency II in the Ondo State House of Assembly,  Mr. Olugbenga Edema, on Monday,  dragged President Goodluck Jonathan; Senate President David Mark, and the Attorney – General of the Federation to a Federal High Court in Abuja on behalf of his people.

In the suit filed in Abuja, Edema is seeking an order of the court to declare illegal, null and void, the list of the NDDC board members sent by Jonathan to the Senate last week.

He also sought a declaration of the court that the people of the oil producing area of Ondo State deserved the position of an Executive Director in the new board of the NDDC,  being the 5th largest oil producing state in the country.

Edema consequently asked the court to restrain Mark and the Senate from screening or confirming the list of the board sent to it by the president.

He further asked the court to prevent the Senate from considering or screening any list that might be sent to the senate by Jonathan in future, which would not include the name of an Ondo State indigene as an Executive Director in the proposed NDDC board.

The lawmaker also pleaded with the court to restrain the President from inaugurating the nominees contained in the NDDC list before the Senate without the inclusion of an indigene of the oil-producing area of Ondo State as either the Managing Director or an Executive Director.

Edema supported his originating summons with a 26-paragraph affidavit.

No date has been fixed for hearing.
