BREAKING: Appeal Court Sets Aside Judgement Nullifying Senator Nwaoboshi’s Election

The Court of Appeal has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court which sacked Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as the senator-elect for Delta North senatorial district.

The ruling of the lower court was set aside on Thursday in a lead judgment read by Justice M. B. Idris.

Justice Idris held that after a forensic examination of the affidavits and exhibits filed, the court came to conclusions that the cause of complaint was the primary election which held in Delta North senatorial district.

He added that at the time, Mr Ned Nwoko filed the suit challenging the primary it was status barred and did not meet the required 14 days for which a pre-election matter can be filed and the Federal High Court had no business entertaining the suit.
