The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court has declared Valentine Ozigbo as the validly elected governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 6 Anambra governorship election.

President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban- Mensem, who led a three-man panel of justices, held that the appeal filed by Valentine Ozigbo challenging the judgment of the Akwa High Court had merit.

The appellate court set aside the decision of the Akwa High Court and declared it null and void.

It also awarded the sum of N10 million exemplary cost in favour of Ozigbo.
