Court Sacks Margery Chiba-Okadigbo As Anambra North Senatorial Candidate

The Federal High Court sitting in Awka, Anambra State, has
disqualified Margery Chuba-Okadigbo as the candidate of the All
Progressives Congress in the Anambra North Senatorial District.

At the hearing on Tuesday, the judge, Justice I. B. Gafai,
thereafter, pronounced Mr Nelson Onubogu as the legitimate
candidate.

Counsel to Onubogu, Barr. Tochukwu Nweke had argued that
Okadigbo was wrongly nominated by the APC because she did not
contest the election.

Nweke further argued that Onubogu who was the only aspirant at
the primary election must be declared the candidate.

Consequently, all documents presented by Senator Okadigbo and
the APC were rejected by the court.
