The Federal High Court sitting in Enugu, on Friday, dismissed the suit filed by Senator Gilbert Nnaji seeking to disqualify Chimaroke Nnamani, former Governor of the state and lawmaker-elect representing Enugu East Senatorial District.
He claimed through Onyinye Mbanefo, his counsel, that Nnamani, was not present during the party's screening of candidates and as such was not qualified to stand for the primary elections.However, the case was later transferred to the Enugu Federal High Court on the order of the Chief Judge of the court.
Delivering judgement in the suit, Justice Buba Mohammed said Nnaji appeared in person to give testimony where he claimed to have come second in the PDP primary. He, however, held that having failed to institute the action within the period as provided by the law, the matter was dead.
