BREAKING: A’Court Reinstates Nwaoboshi As Senator-elect, Sacks Ned Nwoko

Published

on

The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, has reaffirmed the nomination of Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as senator-elect for Delta North senatorial district.

BIGPEN Online reports that Nwaoboshi was earlier sacked by a high court ruling, whilst Ned Nwoko who contested the PDP primary with him was upheld as senator-elect.

But ruling on an appeal filed by Nwaoboshi, the Appeal Court nullified the emergence of Nwoko and also ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to him and reverse same to Nwaoboshi.

The court in a decision on Thursday said the case instituted at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court which resulted in the recognition of Nwoko as the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission was wrongly filed.

The appellate court ruled that the matter ought to have been brought at the lower court before the expiration of 14 days from the time of the incidence that birthed the suit.
