A Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State, on Friday, recognised Princess Ann Agom-Eze, as the Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, for Ebonyi South Zone.

Delivering his judgement on Friday, Justice Fatun Riman, cited section 115 of the Electoral Act 2022, saying the governor was not an aspirant and cannot participate in the election or pre-election matters of the All Progressives Congress as regards the Ebonyi South zone, whose primary held on the 28th day of May, 2022.

According to the above section of the new Electoral Act, the governor neither procured forms for nor participated in the election and cannot claim any right based on the primary election. This is coming on the heels of a revelation by the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom State, Mike Igini, that politicians who procured multiple forms were criminals and risk two years imprisonment.

Reacting, the Counsel to Mrs Agom-Eze, Barr Nwonu Nnaemeka, said his team’s argument was its client, upon the withdrawal of Austin Umahi from the primary, she should claim all her rights as regards the exercise, being the second runner-up.All rights reserved.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that serves him right. He must have been in leadership once, but this time around, leadership is saying no to him.

I thought he said Buhari has promised him APC presidential ticket? He can't be trusted for once.

His end is come. He now wears coat of shame.After Killing his people, selling his people for political positions and his sponsors did not trust him. Odi egwu!

Correct

MNK warned him

MNK told you that you come back in shame

My belle oooo. This man has been left empty.

Keep PO's name out of your mouth ,they will not hear😂😂😂 Another one son fall😄😄😄

God is alive, shameless Efulefu.

Devil Umaru 😈, kindly Go home and rest. You've tried.

ChukwuemekaEj13 MNK warned him . Serve the north and come back in shame

Once you are an lgbo leader, my brother ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ start coming back in shame and disgraced.

🤪🤪🤪

70years old man

Devil Umahi..how far?

Umahi n hope Uzodimma,Peter Obi Joe Igbokwe,Wike,Ekweremadu,Orji Uzor Kalu,Rochas are the most stupid and cursed individuals in Igbo land. Spirit of Biafra is against these individuals. They will see it in due season if not immediately.

Very very good 👍

So lovely, I'm so proud of Igbo youths, please they should also vote out , Hope Uzodimma of Imo state . Law of karma is really working.

No evil person will go unpunished 😡

Breakfast....

He will be shocked hahaha

Well deserved

How do you like it now?

Dave Umahi and Co should spend 2yrs begin bar...

Best news ever

Too much blood in this man's eyes! Let's see where he will be as a common man. Used and dumped out alone after murdering his people. Another mass murderer professor turned murder Soludo and Uzodinma must learn. Uzodinma is murdering Imo youth!

It'll Hit you front and back you will come back in shame heart attack will kill you very soon Mr Dave FULANI umahi onye ALA

The moment you begin to ask yourself question,that moment you realized what you've done, the innocent Biafrans you killed still cries out for justice to Abba Father

Let him go and sit down. He is greedy man.

Hahahahaha

That is what happens to Efulefus

I don't expect this sort of poor reportage from , what is news without a date on it? This news article says Friday, which Friday? There are about 52 Fridays in a year? On which one exactly was the judgment delivered? It very bad of punch

This one that has nothing to offer now will most likely get a ministerial slot of APC gets into power next year. This is the change we anticipate ?

I thought court removed him as governor sometime ago. I won't be surprised him in the National assembly as a Senator nest year.

He has collected wotowoto for speaking 🔊against Peter obi 😂😂😂😂

I see Amechi being APC flagbearer. Mark this tweet.

Good for him

😂😂😂😂😂😂.. we laugh!!

Woto woto continues Over to EFCC

Kikikikikkikiki. Bbrrruuuuhhahahahahagrgrgrgrgrgreeeeeeeee. Eeeeehhhhh. Laughing in Shirilanka.

After everything,you didn't get the presidential ticket,you didn't get the senatorial ticket.and APC cannot win in ebonyi state next governorship election,which you know. Your political career is finished. go and rest after may 2023,never to be seen on the dailies again.🤦

All the over ambitious guys will get some disappointed

Congratulations 👏, ur joblessness for 8 years will officially begin next year.

He needs to go take advice from Amechi and Okorocha his fellow APC servants.... Both of them are cooling off since after the primaries. So he should go join them to cool off.

No igbo man who ever betrayed his fellow igbo people for the interest of the fulanis ever came back with anything less than utter bitterness and disgrace. The lilliputian have been served. Uzo dinjo is the next.

Lunch will be served to everyone.

Law of kharma .

You hurt Obi for no good reason..Angles fight back!

It serves him right. Imagine leaving PDP to go get the presidential ticket of APC. That was optimism taken too far.

Umahi has got to be the biggest loser in this whole process. He came, he saw, but didn't conquer! He must be regretful of his defection to APC. I hope he learns his lessons.

Go home Mr man

Umahi should just go and seat down and monitor his real- Estate business in Abuja

They are not surppose to have contested for more than one seats at a given Election periods this violates Nigeria constitution and it's a crime against Democracy

Way to go!

Rehabilitated. Ever since you joined Apc, it has been one shame it the other. I advise you return to your PDP jeje to save yourself from further shame.

These beautiful landmarks was a big political miscalculation. Now APC has retired you prematurely from politics, President you no get now senate you fail, what a pain. Maybe if Apc wins which I doubt due to Tinubu’s foolishness in choosing same faith ticket, you maybe

Good for you

After everything he has sacrificed for APC.. Lost Presidency, lost senate too.. Oh my goisssss

Dear Gov Umahi, beyond rhetorics, I was in Abakaliki and was super impressed by your landmark achievements, however, you betrayed your people as the song on the street does not befit a man who has done so much for his people. Your leaving the party under whose platform you

Humbled Ebube AGU

Iberiberism. Keep groping around looking for ticket you did not contest for

No one knows tomorrow be careful

Don't mess with God annointed one(Obidient)

U never see anything mr umahi,,, ur political career is gone and done for life no more political office for u ekpa

😂😂😂😂😂😂god would visit them one by one.

Ghen ghen

Wayo man
