Emmanuel Onwubiko: Nwoko: Needless controversy on Delta North - Daily Post Nigeria

The just ended election looks like it hasn’t ended going by the reverberation of pre and post-election petitions and litigation that have sprang up from all corners of the Country.

Prince Ned Nwoko is convinced beyond the shadows of doubts that he defeated Peter Nwabosi during the party primary and therefore was the candidate of the party which went ahead to win the election. In those four years, the then young prince Ned Nwoko became the cynosure of all eyes because of the politic nature of presentations of bills and the qualitative attributes of those proposed legislations that he presented and vigorously sponsored. During that epoch you couldn’t read any newspapers without seeing the reports of his explosive presentations before the federal parliament. He was a parliamentarian of distinction and had no single dull moments.

Based on the unassailable evidence tendered before the judicial forum, the Federal High consequently sacked representative of Delta North Senatorial district, Peter Nwaoboshi as senator-elect, saying available evidence from Peoples Democratic Party primaries showed that Ned Nwoko won. He affirmed that the second and third defendants openly denied in court that exhibits tendered were not certified true copies of the ballot papers used for the primaries, even when they could not produce any other evidences to prove their case. “The judgment shows that there is hope for the common man. It is a landmark judgment, which has further deepened our democratic process,” he added.

He is further contending that the trial judge overreached himself by deciding the suit on the basis of highly contradicted and conflicting evidence, particularly as the ballot papers upon which the trial judge based his judgment were seriously controverted and ballot counting was impossible without calling a witness.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja subsequently ordered Ned Nwoko to respond within six days to the two appeals filed by the incumbent senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi and Peoples Democratic Party . “Whether the lower court was right to have assumed jurisdiction on the ground that the Plaintiff had earlier filed Suit No. CV/ 3086/18 on October 19, 2018, challenging the same primary election of October 2, 2018, before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, which was withdrawn and struck out on December 10, 2018.
