By AIF Media

The Federal High Court sitting in Awka, in a ruling on Wednesday, dismissed the case filed by the defeated PDP candidate for Anambra south senatorial district, Chief Chris Uba against the February 23 national Assembly election in the zone.


Chris Uba had approached the Federal High Court Awka seeking the leave of the court to arrest and prosecute the Returning Officer for the Anambra south senatorial election, Prof Umenweke Nnama for declaring Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah of YPP the winner of the election.

The PDP candidate also sort the order of the court to stop INEC from issuing certificate of return to Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah which the court decline.

Today, the Federal High Court Awka after hearing the suit struck out the petition against the senator-elect, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and the Returning Officer for lacking in merit.


Eselu has not relented since the conclusion in which Ubah defeated him and his brother in Uga and Aguata. He, in collaboration with Ezeemo caused the Returning Officer in a frivolous petition to declare the concluded election inconclusive. It took the professor of law an immediate investigation to withdraw his letter to the REC Awka and reaffirmed his earlier declaration that Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah won the election squarely.

The federal high court has today laid to rest the various attempts by Chris Uba to upset the victory of Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.
