ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Governorship Primary held on 29 May, 2022 in Abia State, has been nullified by the Federal High Court Abuja.
The judge, Justice Binta Nyako, subsequently ordered that a fresh primary be conducted within 14 days.
Justice Nyako gave the order in a judgement on a suit by Chikwe Udensi, challenging the outcome of the APGA gubernatorial primary purportedly won by Greg Ibe.
Nyako noted that from the evidence and testimonies of witnesses, the 29 May APGA governorship primary in Abia was “flawed and marred by irregularities”.
It was gathered that Udensi lost to Ibe at the APGA primary but headed to court to challenge the outcome of the election.
Udensi had specifically urged the court to declare him winner of the APGA governorship primary or in the alternative, order for conduct of a fresh election.
