The Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa has ruled that former President Goodluck Jonathan is eligible to contest the 2023 presidential election.
The presiding judge, Justice Isa Hamma Dashen gave the judgment on Friday.
He also held that Jonathan’s right to vie for the office of president again cannot be stopped by any retroactive law.
The judgment comes hours after the All Progressives Congress (APC) granted the former president a waiver to participate in its presidential primary scheduled to hold on Sunday.
