A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in the Bwari area of Abuja on Friday sacked Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, the lawmaker representing Anambra South district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Uba won last year’s Senatorial election on the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
In a ruling on Friday, Justice Bello Kawu refused to reverse the court’s December ruling which removed Uba as a member of the Senate.
The judge, however, ordered that Obinna Uzoh of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had challenged Ubah’s victory in the February 23 poll, be recognised as the winner of the election.
He also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to Uzoh as the senator-elect in the district.
