Adeniyi Ademola, justice of the federal
high court in Abuja, has adjourned a suit challenging the veracity of the
academic credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari indefinitely.
In his ruling on Thursday, Adeniyi said
that the case was being adjourned indefinitely, following a notice of appeal
filed by the president.
On Wednesday, Buhari had appealed
against a previous ruling of the court dismissing his preliminaryobjection to
the suit filed by Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, an Abuja-based lawyer.

The bottom-line of Nwokocha’s suit is
that Buhari was not qualified to run for president because he did not possess
the minimum qualification to run for the office.
He is alleging that Buhari did not sit
for the Cambridge West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1961.
Senior lawyers lined up by the
president to argue his case are Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Lateef O. Fagbemi
(SAN), Akin Olujinmi (SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN),
Taiwo Osipitan (SAN).
Others are Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi
Atoyebi (SAN), Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), H.O. Afolabi
