The Appeal Court sitting in Enugu, Friday dismissed the suit
filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ebonyi State, in
the 2019 Governorship election, Senator Sonni Ogbuoji and his Deputy, Chief
Justin Ogbodo Mbam, which demanded the Court to declare the seats of Governor
David Nweze Umahi and his Deputy, Dr Kelechi Igwe vacant on account of their
defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the APC.
Recall that on Tuesday, February 28, 2022, the Ebonyi State
High Court sitting in Abakaliki, struck out the same suit and awarded N500, 000
as damages against the plaintiff.
In a 37 minutes ruling, the Judge, Justice A.O Belgore
dismissed the suit for being inconsistent with the constitution and extant laws
of the country.
