The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has reversed the April 3, 2019 judgment that saw Prince Ned Nwoko, the billionaire husband of Actress Regina Daniels, emerge as Senator-elect, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV recalls that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had sacked Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Delta North Senatorial District.

The Court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept Nwoko as the party’s candidate.

Delivering judgement on Thursday, however, a three-man panel of the Appeal Court held that the Federal High Court had no jurisdiction to have heard the case filed by Ned Nwoko.

The Judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, held that the suit by Nwoko was statute barred and that Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja ought not to have heard the case.

He, thereafter, reversed the April 3 ruling, and pronounced Nwaoboshi as the rightful candidate.
