on Tuesday affirmed the election of Ifeanyi Ubah of Young Progressives Party as duly elected to represent Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly.
Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, who led four other Supreme Court Justices, held that the FCT High Court lacked territorial jurisdiction to determine a matter that arose from primary election conducted in Anambra.The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the Court Of Appeal Abuja Division in March set aside an FCT High Court judgment which ordered the removal of Ifeanyi Ubah as the senator representing Anambra South.
The appellants through their counsel Akin Olujimi, a senior advocate of Nigeria and Chino Obiagwu respectively had urged the Supreme Court to set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal which had voided the judgment of Justice Bello Kawu of the FCT High Court. However, counsel to Mr Ubah, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, urged the court to dismiss the appeals on the grounds that FCT High Court lacked the territorial jurisdiction to entertain a cause of action that emanated from Anambra.
