The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate in the last House of Assembly ballot in Imo State, Chike Okafor, have asked the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal to nullify the judgement of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that produced Emeka Nwajiuba of the Accord Party (AP) as the representative of Ehime Mbano/Ihiteuboma/Obowo federal constituency.
The prayers were contained in their separate notices of appeal filed before the appellate court against the ruling of the FCT High Court, which gave rise to the issuance of Certificate of Return to Nwajiuba by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Justice Bello Kawau of the Bwari division of FCT High Court had, in its order on February 12, 2019, barred INEC from accepting or listing the candidate of the APC in the rescheduled National Assembly election.
The legal action, which threw up Nwajiuba, was ignited by a House of Representatives aspirant, Chioma Uzoma, who sued APC, Nwajiuba and INEC at the High Court.
