    The subject of this Ruling is the originating Motion Exparte for

    (Expeditious Disposal of Civil Cases) Practice Direction No. 2 of 2019 and under the

    2. A Pre-emptive remedies Order of this Honourable Court suspending the
    forthcoming elections of the 1st Respondent slated for the 13th of June, 2022 - 24th of
    June, 2022 forthwith pending the Applicants' compliance with the pre
    action protocol, pursuant to the practice direction No. 2 of the High
    Court of Lagos State, 2019.

    And such further Order(s) as this Hononourable Court may deem fit and just to
    make in the circumstances of this case.

    The grounds upon which the Application was filed


    are as follows:

    i)
    There is an urgent need to preserve the rights and interests of the
    Applicants in the forthcoming elections of the 1 st Respondent by the grant of
    an order of this Honourable Court restraining the Respondents from
    conducting the elections slated for the 13th of June, 2022 - 24th
    of June, 2022.

    ii)
    Following the schedule of activities for the forthcoming
    elections released by the 2nd Respondent, it is glaring that the
    2018 Electoral Appeals Committee recommendations as adopted by the
    Extraordinary General Meeting of Thursday 13th September, 2018 and
    further adopted by the 48th Annual General Meeting of the Institution held on
    the 23rd of March, 2019 for the purpose of conducting credible and
    rancor free elections is not strictly adhered to by the 2nd Respondent.
    iii)
    The Applicants will be at a great disadvantage if the forthcoming
    elections of the 1st Respondent is conducted considering the fact that
    m appointed by the 2nd Respondent, NexusMax Software 365 Ltd is a
    non-credible and non-reputable firm who had manipulated
    election results in the past years.. : Filed in support is the 18
    paragraphed Affidavit of the 3rd Applicant herein. Attached to the affidavit are
    exhibits marked A1-A12. Also attached is a copy of the Memorandum of Claim to be filed
    by the Applicants. Also relied upon by Learned SAN is the Affidavit of Certificate of
    Identification pursuant to Section 84 of the Evidence Act. Equally filed in support of the
    Application is the Written Address of Learned SAN. The Learned Silk canvassed
    extensive submission in support of the Applicants' application to retstrain the
    Respondent from conducting its forthcoming elections slard for 13th - 24th June,
    2022.

    I have given a careful consideration to the circumstances of this case particularly the
    averments in paragraphs 10-15 and the exhibits attached thereto. The court is convinced
    that there is an urgent need to restrain the Respondents from conducting its upcoming
    elections pending the Applicants' compliance with the pre-action protocol
    pursuant to the practice directions No. 2 of the High Court of Lagos State,
    2019.
