Lawyer Sues Buhari, APC, INEC Over Certificate Declaration by naijacenter(f): 6:09pm On Jan 26, 2015
By Ehi Ekhator, Naija Center News.

An Abuja based Nigerian lawyer, Barrister Friday Ojealaro has sued the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) over his refusal to declare his certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the February 14 Presidential general election.

In a suit with no. FHC/ABJ/CS/03/2015, made available to NAIJA CENTER NEWS, Ojealaro pray the court to disqualify Buhari from contesting in the forthcoming election if he refused to show his certificate.

Others defendants in the case are All Progressives Congress, and INEC.

Barr. Ojealaro who is also the National Coordinator of a political group, Jonathan Shall Lead Again, pray the court to order Buhari to clarify his academic qualifications and eligibility.

According to the suit, In the event, Buhari failed to satisfactorily present statutorily prescribed educational qualifications to INEC, the APC candidate, by the order of The Federal High Court of Nigeria in Abuja, be disqualified from contesting the 2015 Presidential election.

The suit also state that if Buhari is disqualified from the race, the court should stop the APC from fielding a replacement.

Buhari had been lambasted by the PDP and many Nigerians to declare his certificate for weeks. The General had said his certificates were with the Miliatary Board, which was denied by the military.

APC later released a statement, saying Ibrahim Babangida carted its candidate's credentials away during the coup in 1980s.

Buhari had addressed journalists quoting his examination number, adding that the PDP were using the certificate saga to distract attention, knowing fully well that he has his qualifications, yet without declaring it to the INEC.

Why is it that ordinary certificate is making PDP to shiver with fear....if they know that they are truthful in their deeds why should they worry abt certificate? Where was PDP when Buhari contested in 2003, 2007 and 2011 without certificate Or is it that they have discovered that their cup is now full.....well, I think if PDP are clean enough, then the clueless man without shoes has nothing to worry about beating the dictator without certificates.

Love this. Chance to show that PDP has been chasing spirit.
After losing at the court, the obvious one follows at the polls.
The effect of the judicial loss is disenchantment for PDPIANS for the electoral process. Road to CHANGE is getting closer and clearer.

this guynever said that GMB shouldbe disqualified. He said “if“ dont throw away that word. INEC said that only the court can disqualify GMB. So this guy is only asking the court to make GMB authenticate his educational stand, period.

Guy's definitely a PDP patsy. Lol. But just like the fictitious party that took APC to court then (an arrangement everyone knew was set up by PDP), alleging that they had first approached INEC to register under thesame acronym, this one would also fall flat! grin

PDP should stop being such a cowardly party. Come out in the open and present your case in court. Stop using proxies.

I sensed Buhari's is in for a mega pooh pooh,when i learnt that its only Federal JUSUN that called off the strike.
I told myself,this is to prosecute Buhari,and it has happened.

Buhari,something mega-super,is about to hit you.
