Breaking: Billionaire Ned Nwoko sacked by Court of Appeal, Nwaoboshi declared Senator elect

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked billionaire politician Ned Nwoko and husband to Regina Daniels, as the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party and winner of the 2019 election for Delta North Senatorial seat.

The court reversed the April 3, 2019 judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja which sacked Senator Peter Nwaoboshi as the official candidate.

Justice Mohammed Idris, in the lead judgment, held that the suit by Nwoko was statute barred and that Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja ought not to have heard the case and gave the judgment he gave in favor of Nwoko.

The three-man panel of the Court of Appeal, in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, held that the Federal High Court had no jurisdiction to have heard the case filed by Ned Nwoko.


Justice Mohammed had, in the April 3, 209 judgment, sacked Nwaoboshi as the PDP candidate for the last election in Delta North Senatorial district and among others, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept Nwoko as the party’s candidate.
