Former Deputy President Nigerian Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has urged a Federal High Court sitting in Enugu State to dismiss the application seeking to declare his Senate Seat vacant.
Senator Ekweremadu who hails from Mpu community in Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State is representing Enugu West senatorial district at the upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly.
However, Ekweremadu through his lawyers, in a counter affidavit is challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the matter. They maintained that"the suit is speculative, academic and an abuse of court process," adding that the plaintiff has no locus standi to approach the court to seek the declarative reliefs contained in his originating summons.”
