Enugu tribunal upholds Ugwuanyi’s election

The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Enugu yesterday upheld the election of Hon. Ifeanyi Lawrence Ugwuanyi as the gov­ernor of Enugu State.

The APC guber candidate for the April 2015 elections, Chief Okey Ezea had filed a petition at the tribunal challenging Ug­wuanyi’s election.

But the tribunal yesterday struck out his petition on grounds of being frivolous and lacking merit.

As soon as the judgment was deliv­ered, Ugwuani's sup­porters who had come to witness the tribunal sitting went into wild jubila­tion while Ugwuanyi took to the streets of the metropolis with the local government chairmen to celebrate and thank the people for the well-deserved victory.
