There was anxiety in the camp of the All
Progressives Congress on Tuesday as a Federal High Court in Abuja fixed
Wednesday (today) for further proceedings in one of the suits
challenging the eligibility of the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), to contest in
Saturday’s presidential election.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola is to rule on fresh applications by intended parties seeking to join the suits as defendants.
The judge fixed Wednesday (today) for the ruling after hearing the intended parties’ applications on Tuesday.
Those whose applications for joining the
suit as defendants were heard on Tuesday are Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa,
Chukwuma Ochu, Sunusi Musa, Ahmed Maitarki and the Fiscal and Civil
Rights Enlightenment Foundation.
The suit was filed on January 26, 2015
by a lawyer, Chukwunweike Okafor, asking the court to declare Buhari
ineligible to contest the presidential election slated for Saturday over
his (Buhari’s) alleged failure to submit his school certificate along
with his Form CF001 to INEC.
The existing defendants in the suit are the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari and the APC.
