Federal High Court Throws Out Buhari's Application In Certificate Case by Bigchief46(m): 9:01pm On May 26, 2016
The Honorable Justice Ademola Adeniyi sitting at the Federal High Court 7, Abuja, today, Thursday the 26th day of May 2016 dismissed the Preliminary Objections filed by President Muhammadu Buhari in the case instituted against him, INEC & APC in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/110/2015 by an Abuja based Legal Practitioner, Barr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe challenging his competence to stand election into the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when he lacks the basic educational qualifications set out in the Constitution. It will be recalled that in February 2015, Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, Esq. filed an Originating Summons at the Federal High Court, Abuja praying the Court to among others declare that Buhari is unqualified to aspire to the position of President not having sat for the Secondary School Certificate and also deposing to a false affidavit about his educational qualifications contrary to the Electoral Act. Buhari & the APC instead of entering a defence on the merits and exhibiting any Educational certificates obtained by Buhari, tried to frustrate the hearing of the case by filing several frivolous objections to the competence of the action. President Buhari retained over twenty SANs led by Chief Wole Olanipekun, Chief Akin Olujinmi, Femi Falana, etc., who for over one year now have failed to file any defence for Buhari or APC but instead used every trick in the book to delay the matter. This morning, the Hon. Justice Ademola Adeniyi in Ruling on the said applications which have been fought for over a year now, dismissed ALL of them as totally lacking in merit. He held that the suit filed by Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe was competent and the service on Buhari and APC was also competent. He thereafter adjourned the case to the 16th day of June 2016 for hearing of the substantive Originating Summons to determine whether Buhari's educational qualifications meets the minimum standards required by the Constitution. The Ruling today has caused lots of disquiet in the Presidency where many had forgotten that this albatross still hangs on Buhari's neck

Bigchief46:

SOURCE is First hand eye-witness account. I happen to be a Lawyer & was in that Court for another matter when the case was called up first by the Judge and the Ruling delivered. Only the Counsel for INEC was in Court; the Plaintiff was absent but wrote to Court explaining that he received Notice of the date for the Ruling the previous night & was out of town & could not make it. APC (2nd Respondent) & Buhari (3rd Respondent) were absent, were not represented and did not write to Court

Thanks my learned colleague. I just hope the judge doesn't suddenly get transferred or the Court premises will suddenly develop issues. God keep the lawyer safe too because I know DSS and EFCC, the reigning attack dogs will soon receive instructions regarding him.

There are only two ways to win a case in a law court: you either know the law or you know the judge.



The present change must have affected the judge for him to have brought up this case again. Buhari and APC should do the needful otherwise...

This is a welcomed development. We are tired of an illiterate president, who has medieval answers to today's Jet-age problems.

You have all the info including Suit No., the Court, name of the Judge, date, etc. If you know any Lawyer or someone else in Abuja, just send him across to the Court to confirm for you or better still be in that Court on the 16 of June 2016 when the substantive case will come up for hearing
