Justice Chikere also held that the primary conducted by the state executive of the Ikechi Emenike-led faction of the  APC was illegal, null and void.

In conclusion, she barred INEC from substituting the name of Mr Ogah with any other candidate.

Mr Uche Ogah had taken the APC and the candidate nominated by the party’s executive in the state, Mr Ikechi Emenike, to court asking it to decide which of them was the validly nominated candidate.
