ABUJA-The Supreme Court, Tuesday,
dismissed the suit seeking to stop
President Goodluck Jonathan from
vying for a re-election next year.

A five-man panel of Justices of the
apex court presided over by the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice
Mahmud Mohammed, struck out the
appeal which was filed before it by a
Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, from Adamawa State, Dr.
Umar Ardo.

Delivering the ruling, the CJN,
accused Ardo of inviting the Supreme
Court to arrest a proceeding pending
before the Abuja Division of the Court
of Appeal.

He noted that the substantive suit
challenging Jonathan’s eligibility
is currently before the appellate
court, stressing that Ardo lacked the
locus-standi to move the apex court
to either take over hearing on the
matter or compel the appeal court to
join him as an interested party in the
pending appeal.

Jona vs Buhari is on.....
Oh well.....2015 here we come
P.S--May there be peace and unity in 2015, and zero repeat of the horrible events of 2011. Let our politicians have, as the boxing ref says a good clean fight.
PS2--May Nigerians realise that their job in a democracy does not end at the ballot box. You have to make your leaders work for you....and not just those in Abuja.
PS3--If PDP or APC is not to your taste....vote for another party. Beauty of democracy and all that.
