The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has once again affirmed the authenticity of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ebonyi State, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii.

Recall that the suspended Chairman of the PDP in Ebonyi State, Mr. Tochukwu Okorie had last year in a suit he filed at the Federal High Court Abuja through Justice Binta Muritala Nyako got a favourable ruling to the effect that the PDP primary of May 28 and 29, 2022 that produced the party candidates in the state were nullified.

Recall also that the party, the PDP, had approached the Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki where it challenged the ruling of Honourable Justice Nyako on the grounds that Mr. Tochukwu Okorie got the Abuja Court judgment by fraud through the concealment of material facts.

In a statement signed by the Director, Media and Publicity, Ebonyi state, Chief Abia Onyike said after series of judicial scrutiny the Federal High Court, Abakaliki in a landmark judgment set aside the judgment Mr. Tochukwu Okorie obtained in Abuja.

Onyike noted that consequent upon the Federal High Court Abakliki judgment, Mr. Tochukwu Okorie and his co-travelers again approached the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal where they had hoped to upturn the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abakaliki.

He sated that they are happy to inform the teeming supporters and members of the PDP in Ebonyi State and the general public that today, February 22, 2023, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja summarily quashed the appeal filed by Mr. Tochukwu Okorie .

Onyike disclosed that the court upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court Abakaliki thereby once again affirming that Dr. Chukwuma Ifeanyi Odi, FHL remains the authentic governorship candidate of the PDP in Ebonyi State.

He said that despite the fact that the highest court in Nigeria, the Supreme Court had on September and October 2022 delivered two separate judgments affirming Dr. Chukwuma Ifeanyi Odii as the authentic candidate of the PDP, subterranean forces had thought that they could be used to truncate the collective aspirations and demands of Ebonyi people.

"The Appeal Court ruling of today has once again further engraved the love of God in Ebonyi State.

"As we continue to celebrate our victories, we urge all our supporters, members of our great party and the peaceful good people of Ebonyi State to continue to keep faith with the Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, FHL and the PDP as we march forward towards the rescue and liberation of Ebonyi State beginning with the National Assembly and Presidential election of February 25, 2023 and the Governorship and state house of Assembly election of March, 11, 2023 when the crown of victory and glory shall be bestowed on our dear candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, FHL.
