The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by a former Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu of the APC and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP as presidential candidates of their political parties, Headlinenews.news reports.
The apex court threw out the suit on the grounds that it was statute-barred, having no life to support it and legs to stand upon.
Justice Inyang Okoro who presided over a five-member panel of Justices of the Court dismissed the appeal after the former Minister withdrew his case when informed that the case was filed outside the time prescribed by law.
