BREAKING: Appeal Court Dismisses Enugu Rep, Declares LP Candidate Victorious

BREAKING: Appeal Court Dismisses Enugu Rep, Declares LP Candidate VictoriousThe Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu has upheld the removal of Hon. Simon Atigwe of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the House of Representatives, as decided by the Election Petition Tribunal.

The court also confirmed Hon. Dennis Nnamdi Agbo of the Labour Party (LP) as the winner of the re-run election held on February 3, 2024, for the Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency. The judgment was delivered unanimously by a three-member panel, with the chairman, Justice Ekanem, reading the decision.

Ifeanyi Ogenyi, one of the lawyers representing the Labour Party, confirmed the ruling in a post on Wednesday. “Congratulations to the people of Igbo Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency. The wheel of justice turns slowly, but it grinds. Truth and justice have prevailed, no matter the wait. Dennis Agbo has triumphed!” he stated.

DAILY POST recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had initially declared Atigwe the winner of the re-run election. However, Agbo, who had won the election on February 25, 2023, but was later ousted by the appellate court, challenged Atigwe’s declaration in the tribunal and ultimately succeeded in the Appeal Court.
