Court of Appeal upholds Ubah’s election as Senator
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the election of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as the the senator for Anambra South Senatorial District.
A five-member panel of justices led by Justice Stephen Adah declared the FCT High Court ruling, which disqualified Ubah over alleged forgery of school certificate, as a nullity.
The panel held that the originating summons was incompetent having been filed in September 2019 outside the date before the judgement of the National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal and without a valid stamp and seal of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, on September 25, 2019.
