President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed the ruling of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja who on May 26, 2016 dismissed his preliminary objection in a suit filed by an Abuja-based legal practitioner, Mr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe.

Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had alleged that Buhari was unqualified to aspire to the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because he did not sit for the Cambridge West African School Certificate WASC) in 1961 as he claimed.

When the suit came up on May 26, Buhari in his preliminary objection challenged the mode of service of the originating summons on him, insisting that he ought to have been served at an address in Kaduna instead of by substituted means at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.

However, Justice Ademola, in his ruling, had held that it was incompetent and upheld the service of the originating court processes on Buhari.
The judge held that the service of the court’s processes on the president through the secretariat of the APC was proper.

The court was satisfied that if it was served on a senior officer of the APC at the national headquarters, it would be brought to Buhari’s attention.

Dissatisfied with this ruling, Buhari through his legal team filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja Judicial Division on seven grounds of appeal.

The president’s legal team, which endorsed the notice of appeal, is led by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN).

Others are Mr. Lateef O. Fagbemi (SAN), Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN), Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi Atoyebi (SAN), Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), H.O. Afolabi (SAN), Muiz Banire (SAN), and 10 other counsel.

When contacted on the phone, the plaintiff, Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe said the president has the constitutional right of appeal and was within his rights to exercise it particularly since he had not yet submitted a defence to the substantive action and had filed nothing in defence of the merits of the case.

ok

Pls let him be... he has Nepa bill to present to inec for the next election..that's if he'll want to run.

to the best of my knowledge Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe has withdrawen this case. but if the case is still in court i think it is most proper to withdraw it, we already know the truth. Moreover GMB's concern is his health and not WAEC certificate

If you chose not to be blinded by bigotry, you will realise that it was a Yoruba judge that overrule buhari's application.

That still does not overule the fact that Buhari hired Yoruba SANS to defend corruption, it is a statement of fact and not bigotry.
After defending fantastically corrupt Buhari that lied under oath at the courts you will turn around and accuse Igbos of supporting corrupt individuals.

First y'all said he died , now you are saying he's filing an appeal ?

Going by Mr president's action,its glaring that he has got no wasc certificate.i mean wetin concern where u received court notification order with providing ur certificate?

But wait o,i counted about 12SANs,why all that SANs...chai tax payers money have suffer.

Stupid people just full this nsiraland nowadays.

Our school system has failed many blocked brains. How will somebody become president of a country twice without academic qualification Dumb asses

The truth is Jonathan, his corrupt handlers with the help of well compensated thieving army generals went to hide buharis certificates thinking they will be able to blackmail or disqualify him. Unfortunately, whom God has blessed, no living being can curse!
