ANAMBRA REP SEAT: APGA moves to remove PDP

All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) candidate
for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency
in the March 28,2015 National Assembly elections,
Mr Dozie Nwankwo, yesterday, presented his written
and oral addresses to the elections tribunal sitting in
Awka, Anambra State.

Nwankwo had petitioned the tribunal, headed by
Justice Nayai Agadagba, challenging the declaration
of Dr Okey Eze of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)
as the winner by the Independent National Electoral
Commission(INEC).

He urged the tribunal to nullify of the poll Eze's
declaration and instead declare him the election
winner, having polled the highest number of lawful
votes cast.

Nwankwo's lead counsel, Chief Lateef Fagbemi, in his
presentation, contended that Eze did not score the
majority of the lawful votes cast in the election. And
that having regards to the evidence adduced by his
client, it was clear that Nwankwo won the election.

However, counsel to INEC, Chukwudubem Anyigbo, in
his final address, urged the dismissal of the petition
for incompetence and failure of the petitioner to
prove his allegation against the commission.

Counsel to Eze, Chief George Ignokwe urged the
tribunal to strike out the petition for lacking in merit
and incompetence. He said the evidence led by the
petitioner were at variance with his pleadings.
