A Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia, has struck out a suit seeking the nullification of the nomination of Ibe Okwara Osonwa as the candidate of the Labour Party for Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency seat in the 2023 general election.
The case which had the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as Plaintiff was on Thursday struck out for lack of merit.
In a chat with THE WHISPERER on Friday evening while reacting to the court judgement, Osonwa said: “As I said then, this was maliciously manipulated and facilitated by an Ohafia individual who is afraid of fair competition at the polls. The veil has dropped for the many that asked me to name the said person, I didnt have to do that as he did that by himself, in collusion with another Ohafia individual that served as his counsel.
“I must say that this manner of bitter politics shouldn’t be encouraged in our community, I was raised to understand that Ndi Ohafia never attack each other unfairly but clearly the way of old days of our fathers have passed.
“I am delighted that my team and I, can now put all these unnecessary distractions to rest and focus on the task ahead.
“I would like to use this opportunity to thank God for vindicating us again, for His steadfast favour and grace has allowed the truth to prevail.
I would also again like to thank my legal counsel and ally Chief Kalu Umeh SAN and his team of competent lawyers for their profesionalism.”
