The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by a former minister, Uche Ogah, who was laying claim to the APC’s governorship ticket.

Thursday affirmed Ikechi Emenike as the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Abia State.

Delivering judgement on Mr Ogah’s appeal, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision delivered by Tijanni Abubakar held that Mr Ogah’s appeal was devoid of merit. Last November, the Federal High Court in Abuja declared Mr Ogah as the governorship flagbearer of the APC. The judge ordered the APC to transmit Mr Ogah’s name to the electoral umpire as the candidate for Abia State’s governorship election for 2023.However, the Court of Appeal in Abuja, in a unanimous judgement delivered by Peter Ige, nullified Mr Ogah’s candidacy, setting the stage for the tussle at the Supreme Court.
