The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal instituted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ahiazu Mbaise
The Apex Court on Friday threw out the appeal on the ground that APC has no legal right to dabble in the candidate selection process of the PDP.
A chieftain of the APC in Imo State, Nnamdi Igbokwe had instituted the suit against the nomination of Emeka Martins Chinedu as PDP’S candidate for Ahiazu Mbaise Ezinihitte Federal Constituency. The grouse of the APC was that PDP’S candidate was returned unopposed in a primary election for the House of Representatives ticket for the February 25, 2023, National Assembly election.
APC had lost the suit at the Federal High Court as well as the Court of Appeal before it proceeded to Supreme Court to vent its anger on how PDP produced the candidate.
