Eligibility for Re-election: Court Throws Out Suit Against Jonathan

The Supreme Court has thrown out the case seeking to deem President Jonathan unfit for re-election next year.
The appeal, filed by an Adamawa PDP chieftain, Dr. Umar Ardo and president over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed has been struck out by a five man panel of justices of the apex court.

The CJN accused Ardo of trying to get the Supreme Court to arrest a proceeding pending before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal.

Apparently, the suit challenging President Jonathan's eligibility is currently before the appellate court, and the CJN said Ardo lacked the locus-standi to get the apex court to take over the case's hearing.
