Senator Uche Ekwunife had earlier approached the appeal court with a motion of not satisfy with the judgement on ground that according her counsel "falls below judicial standard and its sena-qua non to money induced judgement as it may be refereed, a Jankara sort of judgement that reduces people's confidence in the judiciary".
She hereby approached the apex court with a leave filed to appeal the Enugu court of Appeal judgement on the motion on notice, which was granted and expressed hope that the appeal would restore her denied mandate.
Senator Ekwunife is hopeful that the case will come in are favour, relating it with the recent Supreme Court judgement that upturned the said APC declared victory in Taraba and Rivers state by the appeal courts, expressed confidence in the apex court to restore justice back to her.
