The Labour Party senatorial candidate for Anambra Central zone in the February 25 general election, Chief Victor Umeh, has been disqualified by a Federal High Court 1, sitting in Awka.

The Federal High Court 1, Awka presided over by Justice H. A. Nganjiwa, on Friday, disqualified Umeh on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

In a three-hour judgment, Nganjiwa disqualified Umeh on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act as it concerns his hip status of party primary.

The court noted that there was no evidence that the resignation letter by Umeh to the leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance was actually received by the party.

The court said his name was still in the hip of APGA as of September 30, 2022 when he contested the party’s primary. It also said Umeh’s name was not in the hip of Labour Party as at the June 3, 2022, date of primary of the LP.

The court therefore declared as null and void the publication of Umeh’s name as a candidate earlier by the Independent National Electoral Commission, as he failed to comply with the relevant provisions of the Electoral Act and the LP constitution. The court therefore declared the publication as null and void and of no effect.

The court also issued an injunction restraining Umeh from parading himself as the senatorial candidate of LP. The injunction also prevented the LP from accepting or presenting Umeh as her candidate.

Efforts to get Umeh’s reaction proved abortive as his telephone line indicated switched off. But one of his media aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Umeh was in Achalla for his campaign rally and had switched off his line.

Obi must contest and beaten silly.

Tinubu controlling the judiciary to sabotage Labour Party. We will not accept it.

In Anambra state oo

Umeh is going to senate ….know this and know peace.

Nigerian courts and thier brouhaha judgements...

Really

Peter Obi is next to be disqualified.

To sanitize our country, we must first sanitize our politics that has no ideology or manifesto.

To hell with all political prostitutes and ticket hunters without any integrity or commitment to party ideology.

We Nigerian youths will show such useless politicians that we know how to vote wisely.

Soludo and uche ekwunife have failed on this one...you don't want competitor abi?? Umeh will win the Senate and there's nothing you can do about it.




Vote wisely, vote OBIDATTI for president

Okay

The basis for the ruling is clear.

I'm Obidient but I still doesn't change the fact that UMEH was trying to ride on OBI popularity to clinch the senate post.

Same crop of desperate politicians.

This is the same format that pandora pathological liar Obi tuary used to steal the LP presidential candidacy.
We don't want him disqualified though, the voters will do that next month.

Tinubu controlling the judiciary to sabotage La our Party. We will not accept it.
