The Owerri division of the Court of Appeal on Wednesday declared Hon Sam Onuigbo as APC's candidate for Abia Central Senatorial district.
The Appeal Court ruling sets aside the judgment of the Federal High Court in Umuahia, presided over by Justice Evelyn Anyadike which declared Hon Emeka Atuma winner of the primary election of the APC in Abia Central
Onuigbo, member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal constituency had argued that Atuma did not take part in the primary election that produced him as winner.
However, the trial judge said that the APC Abia Central senatorial primary held on the 28th, and 29th of May 2022, did not produce any result. Justice Anyadike held that the party held another one on June 7th 2022, which produced Emeka Atuma as the l candidate for Abia Central senatorial seat, saying it will be wrong for Onuigbo to rely on an inconclusive Primary for his case.
Setting aside the judgement of the lower court, the Court of Appeal averred that the trial judge erred, and upheld Onuigbo's appeal.
