Less than two weeks after a Federal High Court in Asaba, Delta State, sacked the All Progressives Congress faction that produced Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for the just-concluded general election in Delta State, the same court sitting in Warri has upheld the candidacy of the senator and other APC candidates that emerged through the primaries supervised by Independent National Electoral Commission in the state.
The judge further observed that Emerhor failed to deny the counter-affidavit filed by INEC, that it did not monitor the primary for which he purportedly emerged. “It is a landmark judgment; the court has again reaffirmed the position of the Supreme Court to say that persons who are not joined as parties to a suit are not bind by the judgment given by that court.“The court said Omo-Agege’s primary elections remain the valid and legitimate primary election conducted by the National Working Committee of the APC.
“This judgment has given the party huge relief in determining who the senatorial candidate in the 2019 general election in Delta Central,” he said.
