WAEC Certificate saga: Twitter boils as Buhari allegedly files appeal with a 13-SAN legal team

  
According to This Day, Pres. Buhari has appealed the ruling of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja who on May 26, 2016, dismissed his preliminary objection in a suit filed by Barr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe.
Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had alleged that Buhari was unqualified to aspire to the Office of the President of Nigeria because he did not sit for the Cambridge West African School Certificate WASC) in 1961 as he claimed.

When the suit came up on May 26, Buhari in his preliminary objection challenged the mode of service of the originating summons on him, insisting that he ought to have been served at an address in Kaduna instead of the national secretariat of APC in Abuja.

However, Justice Ademola, in his ruling, had held that it was incompetent and upheld the service of the originating court processes on Buhari. The judge held that the service of the court’s processes on the president through the secretariat of the APC was proper.

The president’s legal team is led by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN). Others are Mr. Lateef O. Fagbemi (SAN), Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN), Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN), Kola Awodein (SAN), Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), Charles Edosomwan (SAN), Emeka Ngige (SAN), Femi Atoyebi (SAN), Femi Falana (SAN), Funke Aboyade (SAN), H.O. Afolabi (SAN), Muiz Banire (SAN), and 10 other counsel…. bt it’s nothing tho….
