Abia State chapter of the Labour Party, LP, has declared that Senator Darlington Nwokocha is still in the Senate, saying that Saturday's Appeal Court judgement that removed him, was done in error and can't stand.
According to the party, the LP family in Abia has been in shock since the news of Nwokocha's removal broke on Saturday. The position of the LP was made known by the Chairman of the party in Abia State, Ceakay Igara, during a press conference in Umuahia. Igara, who described the Appeal Court ruling as judicial rascality, claimed that the judgement was smuggled in, as, according to him, the Certified True Copy has not been made available.
He further claimed that the judgement amounted to an imposition on the people of Abia Central. The LP Chairman urged the members of the panel to reverse themselves and return Nwokocha to the red chamber. ' We are more shocked by by the rascality of judiciary, especially muscling of the judgements, divisive judgements. ' Since all the judgement of the day was based on Section 77, he should reverse himself again.
