two remaining Senators from Anambra State.
Earlier sacked was Senator Uche Ekwunife, a PDP Senator who swiftly
decamped to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
In a ruling on Friday the Court nullified the elections of both Senators
representing their constituencies in the State.
Oduah was a former Aviation Minister, who resigned her position to pursue
her political ambition while Mr Ubah was a former Special Adviser to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Domestic Affairs.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared them winners
after the Senatorial election held last year.
All the Senators from Anambra State, including Mrs Ekwunife, emerged on
the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
On December 7, the Court of Appeal in Enugu nullified the election of Uche
Ekwunife, as the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District.
The court consequently ordered a fresh election within 90 days.
After the Appeal Court’s order, Mrs Ekwunife defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC), with hopes of securing the ticket, after
Senator Chris Ngige of the APC who was also vied for the position had been
appointed Minister.
Anambra Central Senatorial district is regarded as one of the most keenly
contested in the country having a former Governor Chris Ngige, the
National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief
Victor Umeh and of course Mrs Ekwunife.
