The court presided over by Justice Tijjani Ringim, also requested that Ezeh’s name should be replaced with Cashimir Anyanwu.

“Meanwhile, there can be no basis whatsoever for any court of competent jurisdiction to give judgement against Sir Okey Ezeh, who was validly nominated as the gubernatorial standard bearer of the party.
