Two lawyers and a human rights
activist have sued President Goodluck Jonathan, demanding that the court should
declare him unqualified to run in next year’s general elections. Their action
is based on the premise that President Jonathan was sworn in as President after
the death of late President Yar’Adua and that the constitution of Nigeria does
not permit any man to by President beyond 8 years.
If President Jonathan contest in
2015 and get re-elected, he would be President for straight 10 years. But are
there laws in the books that the Supreme Court can rely on to disqualify
Jonathan? Fingers crossed!
