Lawyer Withdraws Case Against Buhari, Seeking the President's Disqualification

 President Muhammadu Buhari

The Alleged WAEC Result

Bar Nnamdi Nwokocha Ahaaiwe, who sued President Muhammadu Buhari over his lacks of educational career and that the president didn’t sit for WASC exams has withdrew his case from the court, claiming there are several indirect threat to his life.

The lawyer filed the discontinuance on the 27th of June and never gave concrete details why he was withdrawing the case from the court according to some reporters.

Here is the notice as stated “Take note that the plaintiff in this originating summons, Nnamdi Nwokocha Ahaaiwe, hereby discontinues this action.”

Earlier on there was a rumour that there was some indirect threat to the lawyer's life and some people think, the rumour led to the with-drawer of the case.

The lawyer also made it clear that there were some subtle threats forcing him to withdraw the case.

Adding he said “Of course, I am concerned and my family and friends are too, I am not naive and some subtle threats have already been made".

He stressed that, for now he is half comfort now but when anything happens to me, Nigeria will definitely know who is behind it.

He further staes,"In any case, it was Professor Wole Soyinka, I think, who once said in one of his books that ‘The Man Dies in Him Who Keeps Quiet in The Face of Tyranny’ or something of the sort. "Speaking of which, I am amazed at the conspiracy of silence by Nigerians. It is astounding is it not, that in the light of this very apparent rape of our constitution, laws, indeed the very essence of our democracy, all of our civil society advocates and activists have gone deaf and dumb in the face of tyranny." 

"All those voluble persons (and I don’t want to name them; they know themselves and Nigerians know them too), who pretend they are activists or keepers of the moral conscience of the nation astonishingly can’t see or appreciate what is happening. This country really misses Chief Gani Fawehinmi; he was the only fearless, credible, true and genuine conscience of the nation, not the pretenders we have today; all the others only make noise when it suits them and their interests but look the other way once they are compromised. None of us today, can tie Gani’s shoe-laces".

The lawyer argued that the president does not have the qualification to contest as a president, saying that the president did not obtain the minimum qualification to contest.
