Ngige Lost Again At Supreme Court. by Harmonyco(f): 2:00am On Sep 23, 2014
The supreme court on monday dismissed appeals filled by Dr Ngige of APC and PDP challenging Governor Willie Obiano election in Anambra.
Mr Obiano was the candidate of APGA in the November 16 2013 election.
Dr Ngige counsel, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria ( SAN ) had tried the court to cancel the election and order a fresh one due to alleged irregularities. This was, however challenged by Mr Obiano through his counsel, Patrick Ikweato. Delivering judgement on the separate appeals filled by the APC and PDP candidates, the crew court said that they lacked merit and dismissed them.
The judgement were delivered by Justice Kumai Akaags and Olukayode Ariwoola.
In rejecting all the grounds of appeals the seven member panel unanimously affirmed the election which brough Mr Obiano into the Office. The court held the applicants were unable to prove the allegations of non-compliance with the provisions of the electroal Act, which they filed against the respondant. Also they did not prove that the election was not conducted sustaintially in compliance with the provisions of the abt lap alleged. The appeal is hereby dismissed. It further held that Mr Obiano did not engage in multiple registrations as claimed by the appellants. According to the court the Governor simply transfered his votes's card from Lagos where he imitally registered to Anambra his state of Origin which is allowed in Law. It said that the grounds of the appeals did not warrant the Governor disqualification as the applicant prayed.
The court of Appeal, Enugu Division led by Mohammed Garba held on July 26 unanimously dismissed the applicants suit. The five member panel had affirmed the judgement of the Justice Ishaq Bellow led Anambra Election petition Tribunal delivered on June 24. The tribunal upheld the Election of Mr Obiano who was sworn-in in March to succeed formedr Governor Peter Obi also of APGA.
The supreme court's verdict essentially marks the end of the litany of litigations against Mr Obiano's victory at the poll. Kokorokoooooooo!!!
