The court sacked the minority whip from the Senate and declared the PDP candidate as the winner of the Abia central district election in February.

The Coalition for Social Justice and Good Governance has called on the president of the Appeal Court to set up a panel to review the judgement that sacked Darlington Nwokocha, the senate minority whip.A three-member panel of the court presided over by Biobele Georgewill on Saturday sacked Mr Nwokocha, a member of the Labour Party from representing Abia Central on the ground that he was not qualified to contest the senatorial election.

“First, the appeal panel members on this case were changed and reconstituted three consecutive times before Justice Georgewill from Rivers was posted to head the panel. Mr Ciroma also called on the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, to address the allegations against judges. The coalition demanded that the details of the judgement be made public, saying that they would embark on massive protests to call out the justice if their demands were not met.
