Appeal Court sitting in Enugu has dismissed an appeal
seeking to upturned the victory of Senator Nnamani, as the candidate
of People’s Democratic Party for Enugu East Senatorial district for lack of
merit.
The court held that the appeal was an academic exercise
since the respondent (Senator Nnamani) had been elected and sworn in as a
senator representing Enugu East senatorial district at the National Assembly.
Senator Gilbert Nnaji had, after failing at the Federal High
Court, Enugu to disqualified Senator Nnamani, appealed the judgment, claiming
that he was not given fair hearing by the lower court.
But the Appeal Court in a unanimous judgement delivered by a
three-man Justices led by Hon Justice C.E Iyizoba JCA, upheld the judgment of
the lower court, delivered by Justice Ibrahim Buba, which had on April 5, dismissed
Senator Nnaji’s suit for lack-in-merit.
