ABUJA-The Supreme Court, Tuesday,
dismissed the suit seeking to stop
President Goodluck Jonathan from
vying for a re-election next year.
A five-man panel of Justices of the
apex court presided over by the
Chief
Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice
Mahmud Mohammed, struck out the
appeal which was filed before it by a
Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, from Adamawa State, Dr.
Umar Ardo.
Delivering the ruling, the CJN,
accused Ardo of inviting the
Supreme
Court to arrest a proceeding
pending
before the Abuja Division of the
Court
of Appeal.
He noted that the substantive suit
challenging Jonathan's eligibility
is currently before the appellate
court, stressing that Ardo lacked the
locus-standi to move the apex court
to either take over hearing on the
matter or compel the appeal court
to
join him as an interested party in
the
pending appeal.
