Anambra Senator and Former Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, has debunked reports that the Supreme Court has nullified her election into the Senate.
There had been reports earlier on Friday that the Supreme Court had sacked two Senators from Anambra State, Stella Oduah and Andy Uba, nearly two months after a third Senator from the state, Uche Ekwunife, was sacked.
This was following the Supreme Court ruling which re-affirmed the chairmanship of Ejike Oguebego as the authentic State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State.
The Supreme Court also declared the list of candidates submitted by the Ken Emekayi-faction illegal.
But in an interview with Channels Television to clarify the implication of the judgement on her election into the Senate, Oduah said, “In all its entirety, it is false.
“I have gone through the court judgment and the judge clearly did not give any judgement to that effect.
“Indeed, what the judgment and the case is all about is state exco and as we all know, state exco do not do election, neither do they submit list.
“So the issue of emergence of candidate, and the issue of candidates that won election was not the issue of this particular case.”
She added that there is a “sister case” for which the Supreme Court has given a similar judgment but they were not related.
“The Judge was very clear on its judgment and it clearly says its not about who emerges or the election but about the legality of the excos,” she said.
