The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi has congratulated Sen. Victor Umeh on his Appeal Court victory against Sen. Uche Ekwunife and People's Democratic Party (PDP)
Earlier today, the Court of Appeal Awka division reinstated Sen. Umeh as the candidate of Labour Party in Anambra Central Senatorial district after a Federal High Court in Awka presided over by Justice Nganjiwa disqualified him to participate in the 25th February Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, who read the judgment via zoom, allowed the two appeals by the Labour Party and Senator Umeh to stand.
The Court in its judgment held that the suit which supposedly disqualified Sen. Umeh at the Federal High Court, Awka was statue barred and lacked locus.
Mr. Peter Obi in expression of joy over the judgment took to his verified social media handles to congratulate Sen. Victor Umeh.

Mr. Peter Obi is from Agulu in Anaocha LGA which is in Anambra Central Senatorial District of Anambra State.
