The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday struck out a
suit challenging President Goodluck Jonathan’s eligibility to seek re-election
in the 2015 presidential election and awarded N50,000 cost to the president.
The plaintiffs, Prof. Tunde Samuel, Dr Junaidu Mohammed, Mr
Rasak Adeogun and Yahaya Ndu, had challenged Jonathan’s eligibility to seek
re-election on the ground that he had reached the constitutional maximum of
being sworn into office twice.
