The Special Court of Appeal Panel was constituted by the President of the Court of Appeal, to hear and dispense all pre-election appeals in the Court of Appeal, Owerri Division.
Anyanwu approached the court on grounds of alleged constitutional breaches and limitation.
Ihedioha, through his lawyer, Ken Njemanze, SAN, filed the appeal against the ruling of the Federal High Court, Owerri, not to hear the preliminary objection he brought challenging the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court to continue to hear the matter brought by Anyanwu against him, PDP and INEC.

The Judges said that should they continue with the hearing of the appeal brought by Ihedioha, it would further deplete the 88 days remaining for the trial and determination of the suit filed by Anyanwu at the Federal High Court.
The Court, therefore, directed that “the preliminary objections and any other appeal arising therefrom, should wait and be taken along with the final judgment in the substantive suit, so that all appeals can be appropriately brought and determined by the Court of Appeal at once.”
The Justices noted that “this appeal filed by Ken Njemanze, SAN, had led to the case at the Federal High Court, Owerri, being adjourned sine die.”
The Appellate Court therefore, directed that hearing should continue and all objections be taken along with the substantive suit at the Federal High Court.
