Recall that Nkwagu and Eze had approached the Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki to struggle on who flies the flag of Labour Party, LP, in the state as its authentic gubernatorial candidate.
But, the Appeal Court in a judgement delivered by Justice U. I. Ndukwe-Anyanwu, however, dismissed the relief sought by Edward Nkwagu to regularize their processes, and that the relief was filed out of time. According to him: “I had a case with the chairman of Labour Party, LP, and one Edward Nkwagu at the lower court which declared that I’m the authentic candidate of Labour Party, LP in Ebonyi state. And that I have never withdrawn from the contest for anybody. And that whatever they presented to the lower court, that the signature was manipulated.
In a swift reaction, Mr. Edward Nkwagu, who spoke to newsmen in Abakaliki through the campaign Director-General, Mr. George Ukpai said: “The Appeal Court declined granting the relief sought by the appellants to regularize their processes said to have been filed out of time.
