Imo North Senatorial By-election: Court Disqualifies Ibezim As Apc’s Candidate by kahal29(op): 3:51pm On Dec 04, 2020
A Federal High Court in Abuja has disqualified Chukwuma Francis Ibezim as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Imo North Senatorial by-election.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment on Friday, disqualified Ibezim from contesting the election on the grounds that he made false statements/declarations in the affidavit and documents he submitted to the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), wherein he presented falsified and uncertified photocopies of West African Examination Council (WAEC) certificate.

Justice Ekwo found that the WASC certificate he submitted ” bears two different and irreconcilable names – Ibezim Chukwuma Frank and Ibezim Francis Chukwuma.

The judge ordered INEC to remove his name from the list of candidates for the by-election.

The judgement was on a suit marked:FHC/ABJ/CS/1229/2020 filed by Asomugha Tony Elebeke, with Ibezim, APC and INEC as defendants.

There are two judges I fear;

Inyang Ekwo and Sirajo. If they give a judgement against you...You need prayers o.

Ekwo gave the first judgement against Degi & Uche Nwosu...and they stood throughout to the SC.

Ibezim suppose dey panic now.

Frank and Francis is same name. Frank is just an abbreviation. PDP always scared to go to polls with APC, always looking for ways to disqualify APC candidates with the help of compromised judges.

Ibezim francis chukwuma, is same as Ibezim chukwuma Frank
All this logic and technicalites isn't good for our democracy

If Frank is short for Francis, then what is the short form for Franklin.
If you had said,. Franc it would make some sense.

Was it PDP that took Ibezim to court?

APC factions are fighting royal rumble and you blaming another party.

I am not dragging but discussing, not on whom came first or second....I am on the allegations of the Certificate or no Certificate issue as alleged by the Screening Committee members.

Most likely, one of them who was privy might have formed this case.

This is now ridiculous.

People getting punished for foolishness of government agencies.

Does the result belong to him.
Yes or No?

What's with this disqualification over misspelling or wrong name.

The appeal court already took care of that certificate issue.by their judgment,araraume is out since he never partook in the primaries.ibezim and omegara are free but the court just took out ibezim except he can quickly get a stay order today.omegara is the next in line

1. Ararume partook in the Primaries and finished 3rd.
2. CoA took care of the Certificate-issues how?

I agree that the FHC's judgement puts Omegara in pole-position & also believe Ararume is OUT already.

this makes no sense. Abbreviations can apply to any name doesn't make you a different person. My woman bears Franca,which is a female version of frank. Her full name is Francisca, which is the female name of Francis. Her degree certificates bears franca. Does that make her a different person.

Nkem in Igbo is an abbreviation of many of such names- Nkemakolam, Nkemdilim, Nkemefune, Nkemjika, Nkemoma etc. But all of them are Nkem.

So whether franklin or Francis, they are all frank

Pure rubbish! Arguing senselessly.

You think you know more than the judges abii?

The certificate issue is immaterial since ibezim is out but if we must look at it based on how the screening panel disq him,it is a none issue since it was overruled by the nwc...

The issue only came to Court because Ibezim's name was submitted, otherwise like Omegara & Ors....it wouldn't matter much.

I am speaking on behalf of Ibezim & not APC or Omegara.

Ewu! Is it the spelling that matters or the name,Ode.


And who told you she doesn't spell Franca as Franka sometimes? For your info, appeal court has recognised Ibezim Frank Chukwuma as the authentic candidate of APC for the election ,nullifying the candidature of Ararume. Ewu
