The plaintiff instituted the suit in 2019 challenging Atiku’s eligibility to contest for president. When the matter was called, counsel to the plaintiff, Mr Akinola Oladimeji, told the court that he was not prepared to go on with it.
Oladimeji told the court that it was only on Wednesday that he got wind of the fact that the matter had been slated for hearing on Thursday since the next adjourn date known to him was Sept. 20. The judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo then sought to find out from the court registrar if parties had been informed of the date and the registrar responded in the affirmative.
The judge in a short ruling said that he was not happy that he gave a date for hearing, which had become a subject of controversy. He, however, adjourned the matter until Sept. 27 and warned the plaintiff that it would be the last adjournment for his client.NAN reports that the plaintiff, a civil society organisation in suit no. FHC/ABJ/CS/177/2019 is challenging the citizenship of Abubakar on the grounds that he was not born in Nigeria.
