Supreme Court dismisses suit to review own judgment on PDP gov candidate

The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Friday dismissed suit by a governorship aspirant in Ebonyi, Senator Joseph Ogba, seeking the court to review its final judgment of September 14, 2022, which upheld Chukwuma Ifeanyi as the 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State.

Presiding Justice Amina Augie dismissed the suit after Counsel to Ogba, Paul Erokoro SAN, withdrew the motion.

Before the judgment by Justice Amina Augie, counsel to Ifeanyi, Chris Uche, had opposed the request of the counsel Ogba, arguing that  it constituted a gross abuse of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme court had in its judgement on September 14, upheld  Chukwuma Ifeanyi as the authentic governorship candidate of the PDP having emerged from a primary election conducted by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party in Ebonyi State.
