Appeal court dismisses suit against former Enugu governor Nnamani’s election.
The appellate court in a unanimous decision in the appeal filed against a former governor of the state and now senator representing Enugu East, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, came hard on Nnaji for accusing the lower court of not giving him fair hearing.
