“The court therefore declares as unconstitutional, null and void and of no legal effect whatsoever the nomination of the 3rd Defendant by the 2nd Defendant to run for and/or contest for the post of a Senator representing the Abia Central Senatorial District in the 2011 general elections to be conducted by the 1st Defendant, based on false information/declarations on oath submitted to the 2nd Defendant.”
A member of the PDP and aspirant for the seat, Honourable Emeka Atuma had challenged the emergence of Nwaogu as the PDP’s candidate for the senatorial district praying the court the disqualify her on the premise that is not from the district.
The Appeal Court however refused to grant Emeka Atuma's fourth prayer seeking to be declared winner of the Senatorial primary held on Sunday, January 8, 2011 at the Umuahia Township Stadium on the grounds that he did not tender any documentation to show that he came second in the primary.
