The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the appeals filed by Chief Chris Uba and Dr Obinna Uzor to challenge Ifeanyi Ubah’s election as the senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District.
A five-man panel led by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta unanimously held that the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory where the suit began lacked territorial jurisdiction to entertain it.
Justice Bello Kawu of the FCT High Court had on April 11, 2019 sacked Ubah for allegedly submitting a forged National Examination Council certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission in support of his nomination as a candidate for the February 23, 2019 senatorial election. Dissatisfied, Ubah appealed to the Court of Appeal to set aside the judgement which he insisted occasioned grave miscarriage of justice against him.
