Declare Ekweremadu’s seat vacant – Former Enugu senatorial candidate tells court
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant for the Enugu West Senatorial District in the 2019 general election, Chief Ogochukwu Onyema, has asked a Federal High Court, to declare Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s seat vacant.
Ekweremadu is currently in detention in London, the United Kingdom, over alleged organ harvesting.
The senator and his wife are both standing trial over alleged organ harvest for their sick daughter.
In the suit marked FHC/EN/CS/7/2022 and filed at the Federal High Court, Enugu, Onyema asked the court to grant an order of the court mandating the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu and PDP to “select, nominate, and forward” his name to the National Assembly “as a replacement” for Ekweremadu.
He also prayed the court to mandate the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and INEC to “withdraw or revoke, as the case may be, the Certificate of Return earlier issued to the 3rd defendant (Ekweremadu) and issue a fresh Certificate of Return” to him.
I pray that Court grant his request
They ought to have been declared the seat vacant since, even his dignity not worth representation
