The only way this can happen is if GEJ also declares he will not run and they cancel the whole thing. The national and international pressure would be too much. All of this is coming too late in the day even if he is not qualified to run.

This is now a national security issue. As my 5 year old niece would say - "Let it go, let it go, Can't hold you back anymore, Let it go, let it go, Turn my back and slam the door"

We await to see how it all turns out. Although I believe that the judge too knows too well that disqualifying Buhari is not an option.

Initially, the talk in town was that he would be disqualified in February. Now the new fad in town is March. Naa for NB I go still read the news how Buhari won the court case, or how it was struck out.

I don't think this will happen.

I don't think APC will sit back and watch GMB be disqualified. That judge will be implored, urged, coerced, blackmailed and forced to see that nothing of such happens.

Which happening: Court disqualifying him or Buhari not winning the case against him?

Court will not disqualify him. Too risky... huge national security issues - that is IMHO

Yeah, true. It can never happen. It could precipitate something bad if such ruling comes up.
