Senator Uche Ekwunife, representing Anambra
Central senatorial district, yesterday said the
Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu neither
disqualified her nor her party, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) from participating in the
fresh election it ordered for Anambra Central
Senatorial District.
Ekwunife, who reacted to publications in some
national newspapers to the effect that she and
her party, the PDP, was disqualified by the court
from participating in the fresh election, said the
publication was the handiwork of her opponent of
All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief
Victor Umeh. She urged people of the zone to
ignore the stories, as they are false.
The senator, who gave Daily Sun a copy of the
enrolment order of the court yesterday in Awka
noted that the Court of Appeal, which on Monday,
December 7, nullified her election and ordered
fresh election did not at any time or point in the
judgment disqualify her or her party, adding that
no court can disqualify a candidate on the basis
of a flawed primary.
