The Court of Appeal, Awka Division, has affirmed Sen. Victor Umeh as candidate of the Labour Party for Anambra Central Senatorial District of Anambra State.
The Court, in its judgment, held that the suit which supposedly disqualified Umeh at the Federal High Court, Awka was statute barred and lacked locus.
Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, who read the judgment via zoom allowed the two appeals by the Labour Party and Umeh to stand.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Umeh was dragged to a Federal High Court by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mrs Uche Ekwunife, the senatorial candidate of the PDP on the grounds that he did not resign from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) before picking the ticket on LP./SHARE THIS
