The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja yesterday reserved judgment in the suit filed by APC and its House of Representatives candidate, Chike Okafor. Nigeria Politics

The appeal is seeking to nullify the judgment of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory that produced Emeka Nwajuba of the Accord Party as a member of the House of Representatives for Ehimembano/Ihiteuboma/Obowo Federal Constituency of Imo State.

In the multiple appeals, the appellants are challenging the decision of Justice Bello Kawau of the Bwari Division of the FCT High Court, which had barred the Independent National Electoral Commission from accepting or listing the candidate of the APC in the rescheduled National Assembly election. Umoh further told the court that he was never made a party to the suit and Mrs. Uzoma Chioma Mary Ann, who originated the suit, knew that he and not Emeka Nwajuba was the candidate of the APC for the federal constituency seat. He submitted that the order made by the judge on April 29 was against the appellant, who was not a party before the court.
