Imo Supreme Court Voids Uche Nwosu’s Candidature by ebukajay184: 4:37pm On Dec 20, 2019 |
IgbereTV reports that on Friday, the Supreme Court voided the candidature of Uche Nwosu as governorship flag bearer of the Action Alliance (AA) in the 2019 general elections in Imo, over double nomination. The court, in its judgment delivered by Justice Adamu Augie, upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division. IgbereTV recalls that the court had, about two months’ ago, upheld the decision of the Federal High Court which also voided Nwosu’s candidacy. A chieftain of the Action Peoples Party (APP), Mr Uche Nnadi, had dragged Nwosu to the Federal High Court where the court held that he was not qualified to stand for the election. The court based its verdict on the fact that Nwosu already had a valid ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Unsatisfied with the ruling of the Court, Nwosu approached the Court of Appeal to put the decision to further test. The Court dismissed all issues raised by Nwosu in his appeal. Not satisfied with the decision of the Court of Appeal, Nwosu headed to the apex court to upturn the decision of the lower court. The Supreme Court, in its judgment, dismissed Nwosu’s appeal, saying that he could benefit from his iniquity. The Court also dismissed the argument by Nwosu’s lawyer that the suit was statute barred. Justice Augie said, ”The appellant cannot be allowed to benefit from his own iniquity. “The action is not caught up by limitation of time. “This case rest on the issue of illegality and this court cannot be used to enforce illegalities. http://igberetvnews.com/1202780/imo-supreme-court-voids-uche-nwosus-candidature/
