The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu on Friday upheld the election of Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi in the case brought against his election by Labour Party gubernatorial candidate, Chief Edward Nkwegu.

An election petition tribunal had in October in Abakaliki dismissed the petition filled by Chief Nkwegu challenging the declaration of Umahi as winner of April 11 governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for lacking in merit and the inability of the petitioner to prove allegations of corrupt practices and criminalities as contained in the petition.

Dissatisfied with the judgment of the tribunal, the petitioner proceeded to the court of appeal sitting in Enugu to challenge the verdict.

In the appeal filed by his counsel, Chief U.N Udechukwu (SAN), Nkwegu prayed the court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal, describing the verdict as a grave error of law.

He urged the court to annul the election of Umahi with fresh election conducted, adding that the governorship election was marred by widespread irregularities.

It is good for democracy, now the winner should embark on people orientated program not the propaganda that has being going on,and learn to trust other people with responsibility not just his brothers Roy,Austin etc it will not be long people will draw conclusion and start waiting for pay back time,the next election the thing dave will bring to bear is performance,no more federal might and a popular candidate of apc will be a hard one for dave,just for emphasis imaging apc present ugo for Governor aka Dr ogbonnay onu, I think he will become unstoppable given the change at the centre,onu vote will be protect as his personality will earn him more vote than pdp and there candidate together before his party effort but if he fail to run,perhaps dave will do second term.

Congratulations to him

Was there hope for any other party flag-bearer to be declared winner instead?

It seems like the wind of change is blowing against APC




just observing

another worthless cowrdly camaeleon has just had his way. its just a matter of days some shameless pdp faithfuls will cross carpet to apc. this is one of those that have agreed to sale their soul to apc.

Just wish that man can give abakiliki a face lift..not happy when i visited the capital city..
Congrats anyways!!

Umahi has turned Ebonyi State to his personal estate. Every kobo that accrues to the State goes straight into his personal bank account. No one dares say anything in the State.
