“Similarly, an issue of proper/improper parties touches and impinges on the jurisdiction of a court to entertain a matter in limine. Indeed, “a person who asserts the right claimed or against whom the right claimed is exercisable must be present to give the court the necessary jurisdiction”, see Olariede v. Oyebi (1984) 1 SCNLR 390 at 406, per Eso, JSC; Ekpere v. Aforiji (1972) 1 All NLR (Pt. 1) 220; Onwunalu v. Osademe (1971) 1 All NLR 14; Awoniyi v. Reg. Trustees of AMORC (2000) 10 NWLR (Pt. 676) 522; Mozie v. Mbamalu (2006) 15 NWLR (Pt. 1003) 466; Plateau State v. A.-G., Fed. (2006) 3 NWLR (Pt. 967) 346; Faleke v. INEC (2016) 18 NWLR (Pt. 1543) 61; G. & T. Investment Ltd. v. Witts & Bush Ltd. (2011) 8 NWLR (Pt. 1250) 500. The wisdom for such joinder of a party is to make him bound by the result of the suit, see Babaeoju v. Ashame (supra); Rinco Const. Co. v. Veepee Ind. Ltd. (2005) 9 NWLR (Pt. 929) 85; Carrena v. Akinlase (2008) 14 NWLR (Pt. 1107) 262; P.W.T. (Nig.) Ltd. v. J.B.O. Int’l (supra); APC v. Karfi (2017) 16 NWLR (Pt. 1592) 457.
