Court reaffirms Ubah’s sacking as senator

A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in the #Bwari area of #Abuja has reaffirmed the sack of Senator #IfeanyiUbah of the Young Progressives Party (#YPP).

The judge, Justice Bello Kawu, in a ruling, declined Ubah’s request to set aside the earlier order issued in a judgment delivered by the court on April 11, 2019.

Senator Ubah was the lawmaker representing #Anambra South district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

The judge ordered that Mr Obinna Uzoh of #PDP, who had challenged Ubah’s victory in the February 23 poll, be recognised as the winner of the election.

Among other claims, the PDP candidate alleged that his YPP counterpart presented a forged National Examination Council (#NECO) secondary school certificate to #INEC, which enabled him to contest the senatorial election.
