A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, dismissed a suit filed against Senator Stella Oduah, seeking an order invalidating her nomination as the Senatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra state

The trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, dismissed the suit for being status barred.

The court had, on October 13, 2022, fixed Tuesday for judgment in the matter filed by John Emeka, an aspirant in the May 27 primary election conducted by the PDP and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In the suit which had Oduah, PDP and INEC as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively, the plaintiff alleged that Oduah lied on oath in both her expression of interest and nomination forms, including the INEC Form CF001 which she submitted to the commission for the 2023 Anambra North Senatorial District seat.

In the originating summons numbered, FHC/ABJ/CS/841/2022 dated and filed on June 8 by his lawyer, Mbanefo Ikwegbue, Emeka prayed the court to declare that the information supplied by Oduah in her INEC Form CF001, with respect to her participation in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, was false.

He said the senator had, under oath, used the same information to participate in the previous general elections as the PDP’s candidate for the 2015 and 2019 polls for Anambra North Senatorial District.

According to him, the act contravenes Sections 12(1)(a)(b)(c) and 13(1)(a) of the NYSC Act and further prayed the court to declare that by reason of the false information given in her INEC Form CF 001 in respect of her participation in the NYSC Scheme, she was not qualified to have contested in the said elections and or any other election into the Nigerian Senate.
