The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, has declared former President Goodluck Jonathan is eligible to contest in the 2027 presidential election.
After the judge heard the plaintiff’s opposition to the preliminary objection, the judge adjourned the matter until May 26 for a composite judgement.
The plaintiff and INEC did not appear in court for the second consecutive time.
Mr Jideobi is seeking an order restraining Mr Jonathan from further presenting himself to any political party as a candidate for any presidential election in Nigeria.
Mr Jideobi is also asking the court to bar INEC from accepting or publishing Mr Jonathan’s name as a presidential candidate in any future election.
