JUST IN: Court sacks Buhari’s minister-designate

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday sacked President Muhammadu Buhari’s Ministerial nominee, Emeka Nwajiuba and declared Chike Okafor as the winner of the House of Representatives seat for Ehime Mbano /Obowo/Ihitte Uboma Federal Constituency of Imo State.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had earlier declared Honourable Okafor of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner and issued him with Certificate of Return, for Ehime Mbano/Obowo/Ihitte Uboma Federal Constituency but the Federal Capital Territory High Court nullified the result of the election and gave it to Honourable Nwajiuba of the Accord Party.
