Sen. Ned Nwoko (APC-Delta) says he will appeal a Federal High Court ruling striking out his suit challenging Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa’s APC senatorial candidacy.
Nwoko disclosed this in a statement by his legal team on Monday in Abuja, describing the ruling as unfortunate.
He said the court struck out the suit rather than dismissing it, expressing confidence that the Court of Appeal would overturn the decision.
“We have instructed our counsel to file an appeal immediately and are confident that the appellate court will overturn it,” the senator said.
Nwoko alleged that the ruling was not based on the substantive merits of the case, which he said had yet to be properly heard.
