Appeal court affirms Stella Oduah as Anambra North PDP senatorial candidate
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has affirmed Senator Stella Adaeze Oduah as the authentic Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the forthcoming Anambra North Senatorial District election coming up in February.
The appeal court, ruling in the appeal marked CA/A/1365/2022, dismissed the appeal filed by one John Okechukwu Emeka challenging Senator Oduah’s candidacy.
In the petition, John Emeka had asked the court to disqualify Oduah over allegations that she never obtained a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate.
He also alleged that Oduah gave false information when she stated that she lost her NYSC discharge certificate.
The Federal High Court had struck out the matter for want of evidence but Emeka filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
The appellate court, delivering its judgment, dismissed Emeka’s appeal and upheld the Judgment of the Federal High Court. Read more.
