Anambra South: Court Stops INEC From Issuing Certificate Of Return To Uzor

The Abuja division of the Federal High Court yesterday restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] from giving effect to the judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory [FCT] directing the commission to issue a certificate of return to Obinna Uzor as the Senator representing Anambra South.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo issued the restraining order after listening to submissions made by  Counsel to Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, Charles Ndukwe.
The court ruled that the electoral body and the other defendants cannot proceed to comply with the order of the FCT High Court in defiance to the subsisting judgments of the National Assembly Elections Tribunal and the Court of Appeal, which had affirmed Senator Ubah as the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly.
Justice Taiwo held that the Court of Appeal is the final court on issues pertaining to the declaration of Ubah as the duly elected Senator for Anambra South Senatorial District.
