A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday sacked Senator Ayogu Eze as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu State.
In a judgment delivered by Hon. Justice I. Ekwo of the Federal High Court 5, the court asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to recognize Barr. George Ogara as the candidate.
He berated the committee sent by the APC NWC to conduct primary election in Enugu.
Reacting, Ogara told DAILY POST in Abuja that it was a victory for the people.
“We thank God that justice has come at last. I urge our party members to remain united as we go for victory in the forthcoming election,” Ogara told DAILY POST.
Also in a reaction, Okey Ogbodo, a factional chairman of the APC in the State hailed the judgement, describing it as a “good development.”
He told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, that “The judgement is a good development. I have always believed and trusted in the judiciary. I believe in our justice system and I know that the truth will always come out.”
“The only person that actually contested was George Ogara, while the other people went to hotel and wrote names. Thank God the truth has finally come out,” he said.
Ogbodo said that the country would be a better place if the judiciary continued with the truth, while expressing the determination of APC to win the gubernatorial election in Enugu State.
