Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Abuja Federal High Court Wednesday adjourned hearing in the 10 separate suits seeking to bar the APC presidential candidate Mal. Gen Muhammadu Buhari from contesting the March 28 presidential election till April 22 and 23.
Justice Adeniyi however dismissed the applications filed by two human right activists, Mr. Chukwuma Ochu who is a member of the APC in Rivers State, and Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa from Lagos state seeking to be joined as defendants in the suit.
The court noted that since all the suits were basically anchored on the same subject matter, which is the eligibility or otherwise of Buhari to contest in the forthcoming presidential election having allegedly supplied false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, with regards to his educational qualifications, it would be better to slate all of the matters for hearing on the same day.
