The cases were struck out by Justice Adeniyi Ademola on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, after the plaintiffs decide to withdraw their suits.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs explained that their clients decided to abandon the matter in order to allow the incoming government time to focus on the “enormous task” of governance.
The recent development means there is only one eligibility suit, filed by one Ayakeme Whiskey pending against Buhari.
