the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
General Muhammadu Buhari was not qualified to contest for the
election.
Speaking on the Africa Independent Television (AIT)'s Kakaaki
programme, the lawyer said Buhari cannot contest the election
following his alleged failure to present to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), his minimum requirements to participate
in the election.
Ozekhome asserted that the APC presidential candidate did not comply
with the provisions of the electoral law in filling the nomination
form he submitted to INEC. "I know that Nigerians would be curious why
is this matter just coming up for the first time and that after all
this man has contested the last three Presidential elections."
INEC has released the names of the 14 presidential candidates it said
it had cleared for the election, including Buhari. So far, INEC has
made no statement in defence of Buhari, who the body agreed his
credentials checked out by clearing him for the election.
