The lawsuit was initiated by two civil society groups—Community Rescue Initiative and Toro Concerned Citizens Relief Foundation—along with Abuja-based lawyer Comrade Nasir Bala.

They also want the court to prevent the President from acting on the resolution, arguing that the process violated clear provisions of the 1999 Constitution.
