A Court of Appeal, Awka division, Anambra State has struck out an application challenging the judgement of an Awka High Court of Anambra State, which

One of the other two claimants to the APGA governorship ticket, Chief Edozie Njoku, along with one Okoro Benedict had approached the Court of Appeal presided by Nwosu-Iheme seeking three reliefs from the Appellate Court against the judgement of Justice Charles Okaa of an Awka High Court which affirmed Soludo as authentic candidate of APGA in the governorship election in the state.
Justice Okaa had on July 19, 2021, in his judgement brought before it by a factional APGA national chairman, Chief Victor Oye declared Soludo as authentic candidate of APGA in Anambra State gubernatorial election, and, also that Chief Victor Oye is the legally recognised APGA national chairman.
Justice Nwosu-Iheme in her ruling in the consolidated motions, yesterday, dismissed the applications as incompetent, and, awarded the sum of N200,000, and, N250,000 respectively against the applicants who listed among others, Hon Wilson Onyekwelu, APGA, and others as respondents.
