on. Chike Okafor, seeking to nullify the judgment of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory which produced Emeka Nwajiuba of the Accord Party , as a member of representing Ehimembano/Ihiteuboma/Obowo Federal constituency of Imo State.
The said order issued on February 12, 2019, gave rise to the eventual emergence of Nwajiuba as the member representing Ehimembano/Ihiteuboma/Obowo Federal constituency in controversial circumstances. The appellant contended that the refusal to set aside his orders of April 29 as well as the entire proceedings in the suit has occasioned a miscarriage of justice.
He said: “The orders made by the court on April 29, 2019 were made without jurisdiction as they were made well outside the 180 days permitted by the 4th alteration to the 1999 constitution for the trial court to conclude pre-election matters. “Nwajiuba suppressed information at the lower court when he refused to informed the court that at all material times to the suit, he had ceased to be a member the APC and was the candidate of Accord Party in the election.”
