See Gobe! Sacked Law Maker To Refund All Salaries Paid, Allowances Etc, Howwwwwww!
It came as a shock yesterday when it was announced that the The Supreme court had removed Sopuluchukwu Ezeonwuka, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker representing Orumba north/south, Anambra federal constituency in the house of representatives.
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun who delivered the verdict, gave Ezeonwuka a 90-day ultimatum to refund to the national assembly all monies he collected by way of salaries and allowances. How is that possible? After spending some or even all? lol! or what do you think?
Congratulation to Ben Nwankwo, a member of the opposition party, who had filed an appeal against Ezeonwuka’s election.
Nwankwo’s name was wrongly substituted with Ezeonwuka after he had obtained the nomination of the party to contest the national assembly election.
He approached the apex court after losing at a federal high court in Abuja.
“Conclusion: having resolved the key issues in favour of the appellant, the appeal succeeds and it is hereby allowed,” the judge held. And finally, a fine of N500, 000 is awarded in favour of the appellant against the first respondent.”
The appellant had asked the court to decide whether the lower court had jurisdiction to deliver judgment dated June 26, 2015 without considering and determining pending motion on notice dated June 18, 2015.
Nice one.
