Will Professor Charles Soludo, Anambra State Governor-elect, retain his electoral victory or be disqualified over an inexplicable mistake he made on his INEC form which he submitted?

His fate will be decided on Wednesday, December 1, by the Hon. Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Soludo and the Deputy Governor-elect, Onyeka Ibezim,  had been dragged to Court by Adindu Valentine and Egwudike Chukwuebuka who  alleged that he committed perjury by giving false information in the affidavit as contained in  Form EC9 which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The plaintiffs say that Soludo, in the affidavit, indicated he was contesting the seat for Aguata 2 Constituency instead of the seat of the Governor of the State.

Sued along with Soludo and his Deputy are INEC and Soludo’s party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

The judgement was scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, November 30, but was shifted to Wednesday. No reason was given, but an apology was extended to the Counsels involved in the case.

Tension is already high in the State. Anxiety has, also, gripped the many supporters of Soludo who  converged in Abuja and were disappointed when they stormed the Court, and saw the notice that judgement has been shifted by 24 hours.
