A Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has declared as “null” and “void” the nomination of Miss Aida Nath Ogwuche as the House of Representatives candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency of Benue State.
The appellate court held that Miss Ogwuche, who was declared winner of the PDP primaries by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was still a staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Services, FIRS, as at the time of the election. Consequently, the court ordered INEC to immediately withdraw the certificate of return issued to Miss Ogwuche and re-issue the same to Agbo as the validly nominated candidate of the party for the federal seat.
“The decision of the lower court recognising the participation and election of the first respondent in the election is illegal and unlawful”, the Judge said.
