Court news nigeria amechi v omehia

A interesting topic!

The case you're referring to is likely the lawsuit filed by Orji Uzor Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State, against Achike Uche, a former Governor of Imo State, in the Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria.

The case is known as "Orji Uzor Kalu v. Achike Uche" (Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/134/2019). In the suit, Kalu is seeking a declaration that the election that brought Omehia to office as Governor of Rivers State in 2003 was unlawful and therefore null and void.

Kalu's argument is that Omehia was not the rightful winner of the election, and that he (Kalu) was the actual winner. He is seeking a court order to declare himself the winner of the election and to be sworn in as the Governor of Rivers State.

The case has been ongoing for several years, with both parties presenting their cases and evidence to the court. In 2020, the court delivered a judgment in favor of Kalu, declaring that Omehia's election was unlawful and null and void. However, Omehia appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal, which subsequently set aside the judgment and ordered a retrial.

The case is still ongoing, with both parties continuing to present their cases and evidence to the court. The outcome of the case is still uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether Kalu's claims will be upheld or whether Omehia will be declared the rightful winner of the election.

It's worth noting that this case has been the subject of much controversy and debate in Nigeria, with many people expressing strong opinions on the matter.
