A Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has sacked Abia Labour Party (LP) lawmaker, Hon. Destiny Nwagwu, representing Aba North state constituency.

Recall that in his reaction, Nwagwu took to the streets of Aba (Brass junction to be precise) to protest his sack after the appellate declared Aaron Uzodike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the validly elected Aba North state constituency.

It was gathered that Nwagwu’s legal team failed to prove to the court that their client was validly nominated to run for the 2023 general election, which was the reason the PDP candidate approached the Court of Appeal seeking the review of the judgement of the election petition tribunal sitting in Umuahia, the state capital, which had validated Nwagwu the winner of the seat after it dismissed the petition of Hon. Aaron.

Nwagwu and members of his team were yet to make an official comment on his loss.

Sources close to him said that he was not in the frame of mind to speak at the time of filing the report

Nwagwu also lost to Uzodike in the 2019 general election in what many have described controversial declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Nwagwu, in 2019 ran for Aba North state constituency under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) with Alex Otti as their governorship flag bearer.

Meanwhile, the camp of Uzodike and the PDP have been in a jubilant mood as his victory has further boosted the move by the PDP to take over leadership of the Abia State House of Assembly.
