Court of Appeal Dismisses Seeking To Disqualify Soludo


The Court of Appeal sitting in Awka on Monday dismissed the motion brought before it by Chike Onyemenam (SAN), counsel to Chief Jude Okeke fractional chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Okeke had approached the Court to stop the execution of the order made by Justice Charles C. Okaa of the Anambra State High Court in Awka on July 18 that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should recognise and enlist Prof Charles Soludo, as candidate of APGA.

Soludo had emerged with an overwhelming majority votes in the primary election organised by the Dr Victor Oye leadership of APGA at the Dora Akunyili Women's Development Centre, Awka on June 23.

The primary election was monitored by INEC and was broadcast live.

On the other hand, Okeke who purportedly declared himself chairman of the party on June 15 organised a primary election in an unknown location where Rep. Chukwuma Umeoji emerged as the winner.

Okeke then proceeded a Jigawa High Court in Birnin Kudu to obtain an order that INEC should declare Umeoji candidate of APGA for Nov. 16 governorship election in Anambra.

The order according to the defendants was not made known until the eve of the INEC’s unveiling of names of various candidates.


INEC obeyed the order by publishing Umeoji as APGA candidate on July 16.


The Appeal Court Judge who awarded heavy penalties on applicants frowned on their nationwide order shopping spree which disregarded jurisdictional limits.


The Judge said the actions smarked of professional misconduct and demanded punishment for the Judges and lawyers involved.

The fear that the state will fare better under Soludo is the reason why some individuals are bent on stopping the banking Guru from accessing the Governorship position. But no one can alter the agenda of God.

So, what is the implication of the judgement? Is Soludo back in the race?

Soludo would be sneaked back into the race.

The game of politics continues.
Anyway, it is noted.

He merited it, unlike Buhari that stole the peoples mandate. God bless prophet Nnamdi Kanu (SAW)

just like Mohammed who didn't see his death while he was with gworan burukutu ahannu.

Lalasticlala why are you biased like this? If this was a story that didn't favour Soludo, you would have quickly moved it to front page. You are not fit to be a mod. Quota system mod.

And what's my bleeping business with Mohammed?

Anyways, there was no judgement.... Okeke had earlier applied for a Stay of Execution on the Anambra High Court judgement affirming Oye and Soludo, however, when Oye arrived Court, they needed it struck out.

If Okeke's lawyer had not withdrawn it...It could have been struck out and the reliefs of the Oye faction granted asap.

But Onyemenam (SAN), withdrew the stay to prevent a consequential order against his client, and filed the case as a substantive suit as time still allowed that.

So, the case was adjourned until September for proper adjudication. This was since yesterday nah....

Umeoji's name will still be on INEC's register until August 5 for the Kano Court of Appeal suit.
