The Court of Appeal is expected to today, Friday deliver judgment in a suit filed against President Muhammadu Buhari challenging his qualification for the 2019 Presidential election.

A three-member panel of the Appeal Court presided over by Justice Atinuke Akomolafe-Wilson, had on, July 8, reserved judgment in the suit after listening to the argument canvassed by counsel to parties in the matter.

The Court earlier held that date for its judgment would be communicated to parties.

But as the sixty-day time frame provided by the law for the hearing of the matter expires July 12, the court today communicated to parties of its readiness to deliver its judgment on July 12.

Kalu Kalu, Labaran Ismail and Hassy El-Kuris had approached the appellate court to nullify and set aside the Judgment of the Federal High Court.

The trial Court declined to hear their suit instituted to challenge the educational qualification of President Buhari before the conduct of the 2019 general election.#
