The candidate and his party are protesting the postponement of the election and alleged use of the wrong logo of the party on ballot papers.

Another presidential candidate, Ambrose Oworu, and his party, Hope Democratic Party , have dragged President Muhammadu Buhari and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, to court over the February 23 election.

They added that the Independent National Electoral Commission has no power under any law to shift the February 16 date to 23. In a way of proving their allegations, the petitioners said they will at the trial rely on laws in support of their petitions to establish that the shifting of the election from February 16 to 23 was without the force of law and powers to do so.

The ex-parte motion filed by an Abuja based lawyer, Yusuf Ibrahim, is seeking an order of the court to serve Mr Buhari by way of pasting the said petition at the Aso Villa Presidential Office, the National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress and at the tribunal’s notice board.
