Imo North: Court fixes date for ruling on Uwajumogu’s case as senator-elect

The Federal High Court Abuja yesterday fixed Thursday, 20th June for judgement on the issuance of certificate of return to Senator-elect for Imo North senatorial district.

Following adoption of written addresses by the four respondents, Justice Taiwo Taiwo fixed the date for judgement.


Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen Benjamin Uwajumogu, had approached the court to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue certificate of return to him as senator-elect.

The respondents are Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and Action Alliance (AA).

The senatorial election in Imo North was declared inconclusive as a result of alleged violence and irregularities.


Sequel to this, INEC had announced the setting up of a committee to look into the situation of Imo North senatorial election.

However, Uwajumogu approached the court to stop the committee’s sitting and for an order compelling INEC to issue him certificate of return as he claimed that his election was not declared under duress by the returning officer.

Following report of the committee, INEC announced that it has suspended all further proceedings and actions in the Imo North senatorial election.

serious

Same luck that followed rochas will follow him afterwards its the same federal high court abuja but this okigwe senate issue is too complicated.someone with a good knowledge of the issue

Ok

Hahahhahhahha, politics is deep only the smart ones can swim in it.
Uwajumogu will emerge, the reason for all this things you are seeing was just to have a smooth and less free emergency of the Presiding officers in the National Assembly. since it has been achieved everyone will have his ticket. even Akpabio might come bk via tribunal judgement.
those guys where to forward with their ambitions, Akpibio was ready to be Senate president, Rochas and Uwajumogu was planning to be DSP.

I think you might be right about this. The way Rochas' certificate was withheld just till after the election of principal officers was suspicious.

Ndi Imo sef

All this games were only to play the southeasterns out from the red and green chambers. Ooo Nigeria

Politics bad but so cool monetary

The politics played in IMO State by APC is becoming clearer. Stop Okoroche and any IMO APC senator elect from getting their certificate of return before the constitution of the ninth Senate, so they don't agitate for Senate President position. After the elections give then their certificate. Simple. South East need a rethink...

This seizing of certificate of return of the only two apc senators from southeast untill after the Senate leadership election is a calculated attempt to deny them of leadership positions in the Senate. They have started releasing their certificate after the NAS election.

Did you say only 2 APC senators from the SE?

If you don't forgive, you give the past the opportunity it needs to keep you away from the future you desire
