Buhari’s certificate suit adjourned indefinitely

Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, indefinitely adjourned a suit challenging the academic credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Justice Adeniyi in his ruling said that the case was being adjourned indefinitely, following a notice of appeal filed by President Buhari. Recall that President Buhari had Wednesday, appealed against a previous ruling of the court dismissing his preliminary objection to the suit filed by Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, an Abuja-based lawyer.

Some critics can’t understand why the president could not just present his 1961 WASC Certificate and end the whole certificate saga. Some wonder why he should use technicalities to delay the substantive hearing of the suit filed by Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe – the President has engaged over 13 Senior Advocates of Nigeria to argue over the manner in which he was served by the court.

Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe’s suit challenging President Buhari’s eligibility to run for the office of the president got a boast some weeks ago, when the Justice Ademola ruled that the President was properly served. This ruling was against the President’s argument that he was not properly served, and the President has since appealed this ruling.
