Imo: Okorocha's in-law reacts to court's nullification of his candidature, reveals 'mastermind' - Daily Post Nigeria

The court presided over by Justice Ekwo in suit no: FHC/ABJ/CS/235/2019 BETWEEN ACTION PEOPLE’S PARTY AND ANOR. VS. INEC AND 2ORS, on Monday held that Nwosu was nominated by APC and AA on 5th and 6th of Oct 2018 which amounts to multiple/double nomination and therefore offends the provisions of section 87 of the electoral act 2010 as amended.

A statement he signed read: “But for the desperation of a known usurper to prolong his illegal stay in the Imo State Government House, there would not have been any further attempt to disturb and possibly discredit the judiciary with such frivolous petitions, as the Supreme Court, being the highest court in the land, had already rested every matter concerning the candidacy of His Excellency Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, and affirmed him duly nominated.

“That the only Party whose candidate he was and still is, for the 2019 general elections, is the Action Alliance . Therefore, the issue of double nomination does not arise. “That the honorable Justice Inyang Ekwo was misled by the plaintiff to enter this erroneous judgement, and His Excellency Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has instructed his lawyers to immediately proceed on Appeal.
