Court of Appeal on Monday reserved judgment in the appeal filed against President Muhammadu Buhari’s academic qualification for the 2019 presidential election.

The three-member panel of the appellate court presided over by Justice Atinuke Akomolafe-Wilson reserved judgment after listening to the arguments canvassed by counsel to parties in the suit.

The counsel denied the claim that the suit of the appellant was statute-barred, adding that the case was instituted on November 5, 2018 within the 14 days allowed by law. He asked the court to nullify Buhari’s participation in the February 23 presidential election because he was not educationally qualified for the poll at the time he did.

He urged the court to uphold the decision of the Federal High Court to the effect that the suit was not filed in line with the position of the law. The appellants in their appeal are asking the appellate court to reverse the judgment of Justice Ahmed Mohammed on the grounds that the processes filed by Buhari and used to strike out their suit were not competent.

Among the reliefs were a declaration that Buhari submitted false information regarding his qualification and certificate to INEC for the purpose of contesting election into the office of the President of Nigeria and that he should be disqualified.
