Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Thursday,
adjourned indefinitely a suit challenging the academic credentials of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Justice Adeniyi in his ruling stated that the case was being adjourned
indefinitely, following a notice of appeal filed by President Buhari.
President Buhari had, Wednesday, appealed against a previous ruling of the
court dismissing his preliminary objection to the suit filed by Nnamdi
Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, an Abuja-based lawyer.
Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had, in his suit, argued that President Buhari was not
qualified to run for president because he did not possess the minimum
qualification to run for the office. He further alleged that Buhari did
not sit for the Cambridge West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1961.
Buhari has hired 13 Senior lawyers led by Wole Olanipekun (SAN). Other
SANS in his legal team include Lateef O. Fagbemi (SAN), Akin Olujinmi
(SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN), Taiwo Osipitan
(SAN), Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi Atoyebi (SAN),
Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), H.O. Afolabi and 10 counsels.
