The spokesman for the coalition, Mr. Ugochinyere Ikenga, told a news conference on Thursday in Abuja that the opposition political parties had, filed litigation at the Federal High Court seeking to declare President Buhari unfit to contest for 2019 election.
He explained that the opposition parties filed the suit based on claims that President Buhari is not healthy enough to lead the nation for another four years.
Ikenga recalled the allegations by the wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, that her husband’s government had been hijacked some people and stressed that it was for these reasons among others that the coalition took the decision to approach the court to declare President Buhari unfit to run for a second term.
According to him, the group is also seeking from the court an order disqualifying President Buhari from contesting the election to the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and an injunction restraining (the Independent National Electoral Commission) INEC from recognising his candidature.
He also said that the group requested the court to grant an order directing President Buhari to make public the result of the medical examination which they demanded that he should be subjected to.
