The Court declared Harrison Nwadike, the APC candidate in the February 25 House of Representatives election the winner of the exercise.
Ozuruigbo who is a second-timer at the National Assembly and a former deputy Speaker of Imo state House of Assembly won at the lower Court (Tribunal) but unfortunately faced a reversal of his victory with the ruling of the Appellate Court on Thursday afternoon.
This decision by the Court brings to an end the prolonged legal battle surrounding the representation of the federal constituency, adjudged as the biggest in the country comprising of four LGAs.
Ozuruigbo, a former APC member under former Governor Rochas Okorocha had decamped to the PDP where he secured ticket and won at the polls.
It would however be recalled that his declaration as the winner of the election came 63 days after the exercise due to some irregularities witnessed in the election as claimed by INEC.
He had served a successful one year tenure at the lower chamber of the National Assembly and a two-term Imo state House of Assembly member who represented Nwangele state constituency.
