The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has upturned the verdict of the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal in Umuahia, which dismissed the election of the member representing Isikwuato Umunneochi Federal Constituency in Abia State, Hon. Amobi Ogah.

The Tribunal had in September nullified Hon. Ogah’s election, after which he called for calm over the judgement as he headed for the Court of Appeal to challenge the judgement.
The Election Tribunal had declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and current Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha, as the election winner for alleged non-compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act.
In a swift response to the Tribunal’s ruling, Hon Ogar described the Tribunal’s decision as “bizarre and a miscarriage of justice.”
While he affirmed his confidence in the judiciary, he expressed confidence that the “desperation and mischievous attempt to scuttle the will of the people would be upturned by the Justices of the Appellate Court.”
While ruling on the appeal case filed by Hon. Ogah, the Court of Appeal, which sat in Lagos on Friday, overturned the Election Tribunal’s decision.
The Appellate Court said the appeal of the Labour Party candidate was meritorious and allowed the same, thereby setting aside the ruling of the lower court.
