Eligibility: Appeal Court reserves judgment in Adeleke's appeal

The PDP and Adeleke are challenging the April 2, 2019 judgment by Justice Othman Musa of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Bwari.

Lawyer to Adeleke, Kehinde Ogunwumiju had, while arguing the appeal, faulted the judgment of the trial court.He faulted the claim that Adeleke forged the West African Examination Council certificate he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission to secure clearance for the gubernatorial election.

Ogunwumiju noted that there was no case of non-qualification or forgery against Adeleke before the lower court. He noted that the suit was filed after 44 days after the cause of action arose, while judgment was delivered outside the 180 days prescribed by law for a pre-election matter. In a counter-argument, lawyer to the respondents, Joel Akomolafe urged the court to uphold the judgment of the lower court and dismiss the appeal.

Akomolafe noted that the trial court dismissed the motion by Adeleke and PDP, challenging its jurisdiction on the grounds that it was canvassed belatedly.
