The Presidential Electoral Petition Tribunal has struck out part of the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, its candidate in the 2019 general election, Atiku Abubakar which said that President Muhammadu Buhari did not possess the minimum qualification to contest the 2019 presidential election.
Atiku and the PDP are by the petition challenging the declaration of Buhari as the winner of the 2019 general election.
The tribunal said Buhari was not only qualified, adding that the petitioners could not run away from the fact that Buhari obtained WASCE for qualification for the election.
The court ruled that apart from being qualified, Buhari also obtained other certificates to validate his claims.
The Chairman of the tribunal, Garba Mohammed, therefore struck out the claims by the petitioners.
