The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has declared Senator Peter Nwaoboshi winner of the PDP senatorial primary election for Delta north, held on October 2, 2018.
The appellate court has therefore set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja which earlier declared Prince Ned Nwoko winner of the said primary.
The Appeal Court ordered the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to immediately issue a Certificate of Return to Senator Nwaoboshi.
It will be recalled that the Federal High Court Abuja on April 3, 2019, declared Prince Ned Nwoko winner of the Delta North Senatorial District primary election.
In the judgement, the presiding Judge, A.R. Mohammed, had ruled in favour of Ned Nwoko with a clear declaration that Senator Peter Nwaoboshi was not validly nominated as the PDP senatorial candidate for Delta North.
This prompted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to issue a Certificate of Return to Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko as the authentic winner of the election.
The Federal High Court judgement and the Certificate of Return had since elicited widespread public acclamation as Prince Ned Nwoko was generally believed to have won the election.
Today, the 30th of May,2019, an Appeal Court in Abuja set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court.
Sequel to this, Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko is poised to challenge the Appeal Court judgement at the Supreme Court.
It is a relentless resolve to reclaim an electoral mandate freely given to Prince Ned Nwoko by the people of Delta North who hold so much love and admiration for him as a good son enamoured with the growth and development of Anioma land.
Special gratitude to the people of Delta North and all who share the goodwill of Ned Nwoko’s representation at the Senate.
The teeming supporters in Delta North and far afield must remain calm and keep hope alive as Victory is deferred and will surely come in the womb of time.
Thank you and God bless you all.
