Supreme Court rejects suit querying Buhari’s qualification

THE Supreme Court has dismissed a suit querying the authenticity of President Muhammadu Buhari’s academic claims and his qualification to contest the last presidential election.It was an appeal against the July 12 judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja.

On sensing the court’s disposition, Ukairo applied to withdraw the appeal, and the court dismissed it. He cited the example of former United States President Bill Clinton, who he said did not involve public lawyers in handling his numerous private cases while in the office. They, on November 5, last year, filed the suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, and challenged the authenticity of President Buhari’s educational qualification, as contained in the Form CF001 he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission before the conduct of the last presidential election.

In a judgment on May 2, Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, dismissed the suit for being statute barred.
