Buhari To Be Served Through Newspapers As Court Grants Ex-parte Application by Eberex(op): 1:30pm On Feb 03, 2015
Abuja - An Abuja Federal High Court on Monday granted an ex-parte application in an eligibility suit seeking to serve court processes on APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), through three newspapers.




The presiding judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, also fixed Feb. 9 for mention and possible hearing in the suit challenging Buhari’s eligibility to contest the elections over his Secondary School Certificate.




The plaintiff, Mr Max Ozoaka, a lawyer, who filed the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/14/2015 through an originating summons filed by his counsel, Mr Ade Okeaya-Inneh (SAN), joined Buhari and INEC as co-defendants. The court also granted the plaintiff’s prayers for Buhari and INEC to abridge time within which to enter appearance in the suit and ordered that service be made on them before Feb. 9.




Ozoaka’s counsel, Okeaya-Inneh, in the originating summons, is seeking an order to disqualify Buhari from contesting and/or participating in the Feb. 14 presidential elections or any other date INEC may fix. He is also seeking an order restraining INEC from permitting Buhari to participate in the Feb. 14 presidential elections or any other date that it may fix for the said elections.




The plaintiff is also seeking a declaration that by the combined provisions of Sections 31(1)(2) and (3) of the 2010 Electoral Act and INEC Form CF 001, Buhari is mandatorily obliged to strictly comply with their provisions. This, he argued, had to do with Buhari’s filing and submission of INEC Form CF 001, without attaching evidence of educational qualifications as required, which was an offence under Section 31 of the Act.





The plaintiff, therefore, prayed the court to declare that Buhari is not eligible to participate in the 2015 presidential election for failure to comply with the terms for submission of list of candidates. (NAN)

From the look of things Buhari will not be allowed to rest after his loss on February 14, he will be busy dealing with court cases in Abuja.

Whatever happens we should NOT let these folks drag us into destroying our lives, properties and our future Nigeria for their temporary selfish ambitions.

APC have finally grounded this man.
I can't help but pity him...

With certificate problem still looming and the pressure to accept a debate he isn't prepared for...now he's landed in court.

I just hope he doesn't die before his time...sad

Re: Buhari To Be Served Through Newspapers As Court Grants Ex-parte Application by Eberex(op): 1:54pm On Feb 03, 2015
Whatever the case, APC is at fault for not doing a complete background and find loop holes on their Presidential candidate this is the highest position in Nigeria.

Let them find ways to solve this issue else it would be a big embarrassment.
Re: Buhari To Be Served Through Newspapers As Court Grants Ex-parte Application by ApexTitan(m): 2:03pm On Feb 03, 2015

It's a little too late for APC to remedy this situation and the person who will be most affected is Buhari himself. Whoever counselled him in this and the debate matter did him a disservice.

Hopefully in the future APC gets it right and fields somebody who doesn't have a sordid past to challenge PDP at the presidential level.

Buhari is NIGERIA's next president!!
Re: Buhari To Be Served Through Newspapers As Court Grants Ex-parte Application by vicadex07(m): 5:06pm On Feb 03, 2015
I have come to discover that the PDP are always excited and supportive of any issue that will divert, postpone or scuttle the forthcoming election. Why do they feel so scared and apprehensive?

If they are so sure of Victory, whether Buhari has a certificate or not is Inconsequential. At least he has been contesting like that since 2011 and it has never been an issue.

I smell fear and apprehension from the PDP.

They should direct their fight to the sponsors of boko haram that Gen azazi mentioned before he was assasinated and the Cabals that are running our economy down.

Those are the real enemies of Nigeria

APC e-rodents, you see your lives? You all know this man doesn't have a certificate yet you were defending the undefendable. You even went as far as asking us to go to Court for daring to say the hard truth.
Now that the case is in Court, what do you have to say when your messiah is disqualified?
