Court uphold Ogah as Abia APC governorship candidate

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday held that Uche Ogah was the validly nominated candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the next governorship election in Abia State.

Justice Anwuli Chikere, in a judgment in the suit by Ogah, held that, by the provision of Section 87 of the Electoral Act, it was the National Working Committee (NWC) of a party that can conduct a valid governorship primary.

Justice Chikere further held that since Ogah emerged from the primary held by the APC’s NWC, he is a product of a valid primary.

The judge proceeded to void the primary conducted by the Abia State Executive of the APC, from which Ikechi Emenike was said to have emerged.

Justice Chikere barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from substituting Ogah’s name with any alternative provided by the APC.
