Anambra Guber: Appeal Court declares Ozigbo PDP candidate

The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, yesterday, declared Mr. Valentine Ozigbo as the validly elected governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, for the November 6, 2021, governorship election in Anambra State.

It could be recalled that the judgment of the Awka High Court had barred Ozigbo from parading himself as the PDP candidate in the Anambra gubernatorial election slated for November 6.Ozigbo and the PDP, in two separate appeals, marked “CA/AW/223/2021“ and “CA/AW/234/2021“ had approached the appellate court to challenge the decision of Justice Nwabunike on the grounds that he erred in law when he affirmed Uba as the candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming election.

The panel faulted Nwabunike for not only rubber-stamping the decision of Justice Adeniyi but also sitting as an appeal over a court of coordinate jurisdiction. The panel held that the PDP affirmed that it conducted a primary election at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka, where Ozigbo and his running mate emerged winners and were so returned as candidates of the PDP.The panel further held that the only organ charged with the responsibility of conducting party primaries and elections was a political party, insisting that there was nothing like parallel primary.
