The Supreme Court a while ago declared that President Muhammadu Buhari was well qualified to contest during the 2019 Presidential Elections.
The Apex court which set today as the date to explain reasons for the dismissal of the appeal said that the Appellant, Atiku Abubakar, and the Peoples Democratic Party failed to prove that Buhari is not educated up to secondary school level.
Justice John Okoro who read the submissions of the Chief Justice of Nigeria held that the failure of the appellants to call credible witnesses was fatal to their case as they presented only five witnesses including a star witness who relied on hearsay evidence.
He added that the appellants failed to prove issues of over voting when it could not produce authentic voters register to validate its claim.
Justice Okoro stated that the unanimous decision of the court delivered on the 30th of October, 2019 is in total agreement with the verdict of the lower court which upheld and affirmed the election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
