Buhari’s qualification for presidency: Appeal court to deliver verdict on Friday

A three-member panel of the Court of Appeal presided over by Justice Atinuke Akomolafe-Wilson had, on Monday, July 8, reserved judgment in the suit after listening to the arguments canvassed by counsel to parties in the matter.But as the 60-day time-frame provided by the law for the hearing of the matter expires July 12, the court today communicated to parties its readiness to deliver judgment on July 12.

At the last sitting, counsel to the appellant, Mr. Ukpai Ukairo, insisted that President Buhari was not educationally qualified to have stood for the presidential poll . He urged the court to nullify Buhari’s participation in the February 23 presidential election because he was not educational qualified for the poll at the time he did.

He urged the court to uphold the decision of the Federal High Court to the effect that the suit was not filed in line with the position of the law. The appellants in their appeal are asking the appellate court to reverse the judgment of Justice Ahmed Mohammed on the grounds that the processes filed by Buhari and used to strike out their suit were not competent.

They, therefore, urged the Court of Appeal to assume jurisdiction over the suit and grant all the reliefs sought at the Federal High Court but which were refused.

Remember there is God ooh
