The decision of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissal of the applications is seen as a move to put an end to the case since it is technically adjourned till after the Presidential Election scheduled for March 28.
The case which was adjourned for hearing for today had generated apprehension around.
The Judge stated that he will listen to counsel to the plaintiffs to determine the legitimacy of the lawsuit. He also sated that related cases concerning election matters before his court will be adjourned until April.
The eligibility lawsuit is seen as one of the myriads of cases instituted by loyalists of President Goodluck Jonathan to disqualify his opponent, Muhammadu Buhari, in the presidential election.
There are still at least eight lawsuits pending against Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) all of them aimed at scuttling the Nigerian general elections.
