Umahi is popular plus he performed so a lot of voters will be swayed.Nigeria is a very corrupt place so don't ask about rigging

fx45:
Did Dave Umahi perform as good as Godswill Akpabio? Learn from history

Advocate500:
is a different scenario, in case of Bala Mohamed the candidate decided to step down for him,reason why nobody is challenging it in court.

neoclassical:
Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki has sacked Gov Dave Umahi as Ebonyi South APC Senatorial Candidate and upheld Mrs Ann Agom Eze as the authentic candidate for the Party.
Details shorty.


UPDATED:
This is the woman that defeated His Excellency, Engr David Umahi today in Abakaliki Federal High Court. She's Mrs Ann Agom-eze. She came second in the APC senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South Zone. Engr David Umahi's younger brother, Austin Umahi came first. Austin Umahi withdrew from the election and relinquished the ticket to Engr David Umahi. INEC frowned at it and omitted Engr David Umahi's name as it never monitored the rerun exercise announcing Umahi candidate. Engr David Umahi went to Federal High Court in Abakaliki, seeking order of court for INEC to publish his name as senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South. Ann Agom-eze applied to be joined in the suit.

Delivering his judgment this morning on the suit, Justice Riman cited section 115 of the electoral act which forbids a person from standing two different primary elections in the same year. He said in his judgment that such a person if found claiming to participate in two primary elections risks a two year jail term. He said that the authentic senatorial candidate of the APC is Mrs Ann Agom-eze since Austin Umahi withdrew from the race.

Therefore, if Engr David Umahi files an appeal, he stands to gain two years jail bounty as stated by Justice Riman in his judgment.
Congratulations to Mrs Ann Agom-eze.

You are not a good student of history.akpabio was no more an incumbent governor when he contested while umahi is an incumbent. Akpabio depended solely on rigging

tonyuny12:


That makes his case a straight forward one for APC, since he didn't participate in the primary that should have made him a candidate. So it is assumed PDP have no candidate in bauchi governorship election

Image123:
The South, especially the South East are babies in the game of politics. People like Umahi and Akpabio that they suppose to you style support as back up plan. You don't put your eggs in one basket or cut your nose to spite your face.
It is people like Umahi and Akpabio that should straightforward vie for Senate presidency IF APC wins the presidential election. But of course, when there's no big APC name from the South, the presidency will either go North or at worst South West. Then SE will cry blood and neglect and Biafra yet again.

seunmsg:


garfield1 and fergie001, can APC use this same section to disqualify Gov. Bala Mohammed from the Bauchi state governorship race?

Cantonese:
The jagbajantis man made a serious political miscalculation when he left the PDP. Rather than move ahead with his life, he turned against Peter Obi.
Now see the result.

Now e no be animal for up, e still no be animal for down.

OBIdience is very key. Are you OBIdient?

fx45:
You're talking nonsense. The same you that is hoping that Umahi would somehow rig himself in. He can't do that. Ebonyi State is a PDP State. There are heavyweights in that state. Umahi is a small fry. How many people followed him to APC to start with?

Umahi is finished politically for now. Besides Tinumbu of fake Bishops fame can NEVER smell the Presidency. Unlike Akpabio no soft landing for Dave Umaruhi

Pacesetter123:

Akpabio own is the same.
Chief Ekperikpe Ekpo voluntarily withdrew for him.
And nobody takes him to court either.
But Mike Igini in his own just said Akpabio cannot be on the ballot on account of this same section 115.
That he has already stood for presidential election and as such cannot stand for senatorial election in the same year again regardless of weda anybody withdraws for him or challenge him in court or not.
So it's not a matter of withdrawal and going to court,INEC should disqualify Bala and Tambuwal just as she did to Akpabio.Simple!!

Umahi just collecting wotowoto from all angles

garfield1:


He has almost done that

garfield1:


Yes,he will

Mike Igini argument was that Inec did not monitor the primary election that made Akpabio win...
