Ossai Sues INEC, NDC Over Enugu North Senate Ticket
Bishop Ossai Okwudili, also known as Oscar, has initiated legal proceedings against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and Rt. Hon. Asadu Patrick Oziokoja regarding the Enugu North Senatorial District ticket.
In an Originating Summons dated August 5, 2026, Ossai claims that he won the NDC primary held on May 29, 2026, but discovered that his name was allegedly substituted with Asadu's after reviewing candidate information submitted to INEC on July 23, 2026. He is contesting the legality of INEC accepting Asadu's name as the candidate and is seeking a court declaration to recognize him as the rightful candidate.
Ossai's suit, filed by F. M.
Nworah of Bloom Lex Legal Practice, also challenges the nomination processes of the NDC and seeks to prevent the recognition of Asadu as the candidate pending the outcome of the case. This legal action follows a previous challenge to Ossai's candidacy by Dr. Vincent Obetta.
