The plaintiff argued that the part of Adamawa State Atiku hails from was still part of the Northern Cameroon as of the time of his birth.

The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, fixed February 21, 2022, for judgment in a suit challenging former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s eligibility to vie for the office of Nigeria’s president.

EMA is challenging Mr Atiku’s eligibility to contest for presidency on the grounds that he was not a Nigerian citizen by birth. The court, in the motion dated April 26 and filed June 24, granted the prayer of the AG of Adamawa State to be joined in the case as the 5th defendant. It added that the suit threatened the right of not just the ex-vice president to contest the office of the president “but that of the citizens of Nigeria, of Adamawa origin covering 12 out of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.”At Monday’s hearing, the plaintiff’s counsel, Akinola Oladimeji, said the matter was slated for hearing of his originating summons.

Mr Jegede, after withdrawing two motions earlier filed, one of which challenged the jurisdiction of the court, urged the court to dismiss the plaintiff’s application.
