The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Candidate for Ezza North/ Ishielu Federal Constituency Hon.Joseph Nwobashi, has dragged the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) and Hon. Anayo Edwin Nwonu to court for alleged omission of name.

Hon. Joseph Nwobashi obtained a restriction order restraining the ( INEC ) Independent National Electoral Commission from publishing Hon Anayo Edwin Nwonu or any orther aspirants name as authentic candidate for Ezza North/Ishielu Federal Consitutency.

In a suit filled before the Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki on the 9th day of August 2022 in suit No FHC/A1/cs/173/2022, Rt. Hon.
