Member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency of Abia State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Amobi Ogah has rejected the judgement of the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, NAEPT, sitting in Umuahia which sacked him as the winner of the Feb. 25 National Assembly Election, ABN TV reports.

The tribunal in its ruling on Wednesday declared the petitioner, Hon Nkeiruka Onyejeocha of the All Progressive Congress (APC) winner of a suit marked EPT/AB/HR/8/2023.

The judgement was delivered by the Chairman of the National and State House of Assembly election petitions in Abia state, Justice Adeyinka Aderibigbe.

Justice Adeyinka declared Onyejeocha winner with a total number of 11,936 votes while the second and third respondents had 9,728 votes.

He also said that Ogah was not qualified to contest in the election as he and Labour Party did not comply with the provisions of section 77 by not submitting their membership register to INEC.

In his reaction in a statement, Ogah said he rejects the ruling and will go ahead to challenge it in court.

"Let me be clear that I am rejecting the tribunal's ruling and will appeal the obvious miscarriage of justice, fairness, and objectivity", he stated.

According to Ogah, "My opponent, whom I know, did not win the election and the judge cannot announce a result presented by the petitioner as concrete against the result presented by INEC. With the benefit of hindsight, this bizarre outcome is not totally strange as we had seen tendencies of clear compromise by the panel who discarded all known principles governing election adjudication and enunciated their own principles. Indeed, manifestation of it was writ large at the adoption of final addresses wherein the current Attorney General of the Federation- Lateef Fagbemi SAN made comments suggesting underhand dealings with the Chairman of the Panel.

"I want to use this medium to call on my constituents who voted for me, knowing my capacity to deliver dividends of democracy to them, to be calm law and abiding as I appeal the judgment delivered by the tribunal.

"For the records, I scored a total of 11,769 votes against my Opponent whom the commission said scored a total of 8,752 votes. It is very bizarre that despite calling a lone witness and dumping several strange result sheets before the Tribunal, the members of the panel cognized the same and disregarded original copies of the result sheets produced from proper custody."

He go win na since outsider no get right to question how a party nominate his or her candidate....

Ok we don hear

He will challenge and win. The woman lost woefully during the last election. But same Ogah was the one frolicking with APC and Tinubu when he won earlier this year under LP

That's the same man who said he never knew president Tinubu was an intelligent man.
That day he sounded so excited, like a girl i just toasted.
This is a clear case of riding on someone's waves. because he didn't look like he came in with original development agenda.
Well, I wish him the best, and his constituency too.
May the law prevail.

The Electoral-Act DIDN'T SPECIFY the penalty for A Party not to submit its party’s register before 30 days to the primaries..
The Act just mentioned it,, but there are no penalties stated in the Act..
So,, for the judge to assume powers upon himself or herself and deliver judgement that is not rooted in the law, is worrisome..



That's the same reason they couldn't nullify Obi’s candidacy., because the Electoral-Act didn't expressly specify that anyone whose name is not in the list submitted to the INEC before the Primaries is not a member..

Isokotolopia:

Free giver how, is it philanthropic way or in the other room.

Oh.
Most LP elected politicians in South east would be removed.

He also said that Ogah was not qualified to contest in the election as he and Labour Party did not comply with the provisions of section 77 by not submitting their membership register to INEC.

The Judiciary of Nigeria is just inconsistent.

Anyway Amobi should revert to the "intelligent" BAT for the way forward because I don’t think his party will be looking at him fondly

kitten inspired judgement
Serves the Ogah man right though

I dont pity this guy, i personally warned him about things to be done, but hr ignired my advice, na him wise pass, now see what is about to befall him... its not to late to do the right thing...
