A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja today put paid to speculations that the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, might be barred from participating in Saturday's presidential election.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola Wednesday morning adjourned the eligibility suit seeking to stop Mr. Buhari till April 22 and 23 for hearing, meaning there is no more obstacle on the APC candidate's path.
The hearing will come up about a month after the election.
The judge said the adjournment would affect all the pending suits against Buhari in his court. Justice Ademola had consolidated all the suits in a bid to hear them as a single suit since they all relate to Buhari's eligibility.The court however dismissed the applications filed by two persons seeking to be joined as defendants in the suit. One of the applicants is a pro-democracy activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa.
