He has lost it all. Expecting him to go on his mindless rants as usual. I don't know why he is using his foolish pride to destroy his legacy in Ebonyi state. He will retire into oblivion like those before him. Greedy slobs. His brother would be licking his wounds at his misfire.

Umahi is popular plus he performed so a lot of voters will be swayed.Nigeria is a very corrupt place so don't ask about rigging
Did Dave Umahi perform as good as Godswill Akpabio? Learn from history

You are not a good student of history.akpabio was no more an incumbent governor when he contested while umahi is an incumbent. Akpabio depended solely on rigging

Advocate500:
is a different scenario, in case of Bala Mohamed the candidate decided to step down for him,reason why nobody is challenging it in court.
Akpabio own is the same.
Chief Ekperikpe Ekpo voluntarily withdrew for him.
And nobody takes him to court either.
But Mike Igini in his own just said Akpabio cannot be on the ballot on account of this same section 115.
That he has already stood for presidential election and as such cannot stand for senatorial election in the same year again regardless of weda anybody withdraws for him or challenge him in court or not.
So it's not a matter of withdrawal and going to court,INEC should disqualify Bala and Tambuwal just as she did to Akpabio.Simple!!

Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki has sacked Gov Dave Umahi as Ebonyi South APC Senatorial Candidate and upheld Mrs Ann Agom Eze as the authentic candidate for the Party.
Details shorty.


UPDATED:
This is the woman that defeated His Excellency, Engr David Umahi today in Abakaliki Federal High Court. She's Mrs Ann Agom-eze. She came second in the APC senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South Zone. Engr David Umahi's younger brother, Austin Umahi came first. Austin Umahi withdrew from the election and relinquished the ticket to Engr David Umahi. INEC frowned at it and omitted Engr David Umahi's name as it never monitored the rerun exercise announcing Umahi candidate. Engr David Umahi went to Federal High Court in Abakaliki, seeking order of court for INEC to publish his name as senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South. Ann Agom-eze applied to be joined in the suit.

Delivering his judgment this morning on the suit, Justice Riman cited section 115 of the electoral act which forbids a person from standing two different primary elections in the same year. He said in his judgment that such a person if found claiming to participate in two primary elections risks a two year jail term. He said that the authentic senatorial candidate of the APC is Mrs Ann Agom-eze since Austin Umahi withdrew from the race.

Therefore, if Engr David Umahi files an appeal, he stands to gain two years jail bounty as stated by Justice Riman in his judgment.
Congratulations to Mrs Ann Agom-eze.

You're talking nonsense. The same you that is hoping that Umahi would somehow rig himself in. He can't do that. Ebonyi State is a PDP State. There are heavyweights in that state. Umahi is a small fry. How many people followed him to APC to start with?

Umahi is finished politically for now. Besides Tinumbu of fake Bishops fame can NEVER smell the Presidency. Unlike Akpabio no soft landing for Dave Umaruhi

That makes his case a straight forward one for APC, since he didn't participate in the primary that should have made him a candidate. So it is assumed PDP have no candidate in bauchi governorship election
Very factual.
A certain section of the new electoral law says you cannot be a candidate in a primaries you did not participate.
So he stands disqualified if the law is meant o be impartial.

The South, especially the South East are babies in the game of politics. People like Umahi and Akpabio that they suppose to you style support as back up plan. You don't put your eggs in one basket or cut your nose to spite your face.
It is people like Umahi and Akpabio that should straightforward vie for Senate presidency IF APC wins the presidential election. But of course, when there's no big APC name from the South, the presidency will either go North or at worst South West. Then SE will cry blood and neglect and Biafra yet again.

Just look at the fraudulent mindset this one has, so people should break the law without any consequences because they want their person in the senate...

May God purnish all you evil people that will not let this country move forward.

The section build on supreme court grounds that disqualify an elective legislative candidate ....not Governorship... And it really dealt with legislative candidate and NOT Gubernatorial candidate

I doubt it because there was no runner up to the person that stepped down and i doubt if APC can sue PDP regarding their primaries since APC didn't participate in it.

The North East has the Senate president, and the NW has the president but this two regions are the worst hit of all the regions.

Leave that guy abeg.. Election is not far again, I wonder the excuse he will give that time. That was how he was very boastful in the recent Osun election, he was still confident even when the results had started trickling in, same thing he did in Anambra, he was deceived by various defections into APC thinking that it will translate to votes, we were telling him that in my place, politicians do not sway voters except the masses are with you, but once you lose that goodwill of the people, it will be suicidal for that politician. A las, Andy Uba didn't even win a single LG and came distant 3rd. Even Ifeanyi uba who came 4th was able to clinch 1 LG. 2023 is no longer far, leave him, Ayade will meet his Waterloo.
