Certificate Saga: Buhari Dragged To Court by liljboy(m): 10:45am On Jan 27, 2015
In a clear move to stop the presidential flag bearer
of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari from contesting the election, a
legal practitioner, Mr. Chukwunweike Okafor, on
Monday, approached the Federal High Court in
Abuja with an application seeking the court to
disqualify the candidate over issues bothering on
his credentials.
The case tagged FHC/ABJ/CS/01/2015 has Buhari,
APC and the Independent National Electoral
Commission as the first, second and third
defendants respectively.
The suit was filed pursuant to Section 131 of the
Constitution, which prescribes a minimum
qualification for nomination to participate in the
presidential election and Section 31 of the Electoral
Act that requires all presidential candidates to
depose to an affidavit that they have satisfied and
complied with the constitutional requirements to be
President of Nigeria.
The complainant, in the suit filed through his
counsel, Chief Ugo Ugunnadi, is contending that
Buhari’s form CF001 with the INEC, wherein he
stated that he obtained the minimum educational
qualification of West African Senior School
Certificate could not be valid as the said certificate
was allegedly forged or not genuine.
The plaintiff, among other things, is asking the court
to declare that “the information contained in
Buhari’s affidavit dated November 24, 2014, stating
that the Secretary of the Military Board was in
custody of his WASSC was false and thereby
disqualified him from contesting the 2015 general
elections.”
The lawyer is therefore seeking an order of the
court “compelling INEC to withdraw, remove and/or
delete the names of the 1st and 2nd defendants
from the list of persons or political parties eligible to
contest for the Office of the President of Nigeria in
the 2015 general elections.”
