Ugwoke in a statement issued by his media aide Opata Igbo said that INEC deliberately ignored Enugu State High Court order that recognised him as the APC candidate for the election, describing it as “flagrant negligence of the State High Court order on the part of Independent National Electoral Commission.
He said that the entire electoral exercise in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area was a sham as the court order was duly served on INEC but was deliberately ignored to pave way for the candidate of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the constituency. “Prior to the State Assembly elections held across the 36 states in the country on March 9th, 2019, Enugu State High Court holding at Nsukka Judicial Division on March 4th, 2019 in suit number N/3/2019 had among other things, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to recognize Hon. Ugwoke Maxwell Nnabuchi as the State Assembly candidate of the APC for Uzo Uwani LGA state constituency but the order was ignored.
The statement which quoted Hon. Maxwell Nnabuchi as reminding INEC that “Nigeria is a constitutional nation also called on the INEC as a matter of reason to cancel the exercise and fix a new date so as to ensure fairness and justice.
