The Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Adeniyi Ademola on Thursday, indefinitely adjourned the suit challenging the academic credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Justice Adeniyi in his ruling attributed the indefinite adjournment to a notice of appeal filed by President Buhari.
President Buhari had on Wednesday, appealed against a previous ruling of the court dismissing his preliminary objection to the suit filed by Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, an Abuja-based lawyer.
Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had in his suit argued that President 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.
To defend his position, President Buhari has hired an intimidating team of 13 Senior lawyers led by Wole Olanipekun, SAN.
Other lawyers on the team are Lateef O. Fagbemi (SAN), Akin Olujinmi (SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN), Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi Atoyebi (SAN), Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), and H.O. Afolabi.
