Ebonyi South: Why Court judgement against me won’t stand – Senator Ogbuoji
DAILY POST reports that the court sitting in Abakiliki had sacked him as Senator representing the area.
According to him, the letters to resign from and register with another party were done six clear months before the PDP crisis was resolved at the Supreme Court, which makes the time of his swapping parties within the crisis era of his former party, the PDP and therefore his leaving the party never breached any law.
Ogbuoji raised seven errors in the decision of the trial court that made its conclusion a nullity in law that ought not to stand and therefore asked the appeal court to set aside the decision and overrule the declaration of his seat vacant.
