The Supreme Court on Thursday, in a split decision of four to three Justices, struck out Senator Stephen Odey’s appeal seeking to be declared the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on December 5, 2020 by-election in Cross River North Senatorial District.
The apex court in the split decision held that the appeal was defective and lacked merit because the processes were wrongfully served.
Justice Centus Nweze who read the majority judgment held that Odey’s appeal was without merit and consequently struck out.
Senator Stephen Odey had filed an appeal at the apex court against the decision of the Court of Appeal, Abuja voiding his candidacy in the by-election.
