Anambra poll: Tension as Supreme Court set to deliver judgment on Soludo candidacy - Punch Newspapers

The Court of Appeal Court sitting in Abuja had in September ordered Independent National Electoral Commission to recognize Prof. Charles Soludo as candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA in the November 6, Anambra governorship polls.

The three member Justices’ panel headed by President of the Appeal Court, Monica Dongban Mensem had also declared Victor Oye as National Chairman of APGA. Justice Jummai Sankey while delivering ruling on the appeal filed against Sylvester Ezeokenwa and five others,held in a unanimous decision that the appeal constituted an abuse of court process, having been bound by the decision of the Kano division of Court of Appeal that affirmed Chief Oye as APGA national chairman.

The panel said it lacks jurisdiction to do what the appeal by Chief Edozie Njoku and Chinedu Okoro was seeking as it can not sit on appeal of its previous decision. The sum of ten million naira was therefore awarded against the appellants, in favour of Sylvester Ezeokenwa and All progressive Grand Alliance APGA who are the first and second respondents in the appeal.
