Court sacks Ifeanyi Ubah as Senator

The Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has been sacked by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Justice Bello Kawu, in a ruling, declined Ubah’s request to set aside the earlier order issued in a judgment delivered by the court on April 11, 2019.

Ubah who represents Anambra South district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, was sacked by the court on grounds that he submitted a fake NECO result to contest the February 23, 2019 senatorial election.

The judge also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Ubah.

Kawu directed that a fresh one be issued to Dr. Obinna Uzoh of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who came second at the election.
