Senator Abaribe’s Election Nullified
The election of a People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has been nullified by the
National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia on Monday.
Delivering the judgement, the
lead judge stated that the election of Senator Abaribe was inconclusive due to
irregularities in two local government areas namely Obi Ngwa and Ugwunagbo
The candidate of All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chris Nkwonta, had petitioned the tribunal
seeking nullification of Abaribe’s election on the basis of electoral
irregularities.
Speaking with SaharaReporters
on phone, Senator Abaribe said that his team were confused about the ruling
stating that his legal team has applied for a Certified true copy of the
judgement so as to guide him in deciding on an appropriate response.
Senator Abaribe, a three-term
senator was first elected to represent Abia-South Senatorial District at the
Nigerian Senate in 2007.
