Barr. Ken Njemanze had on July 8, 2013 petitioned the house asking the assembly to implement the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered on May 10, 2013 which favoured Barr. Robert Okwuego, candidate of the PDP in the constituency in the 2011 election.
Meanwhile, Barr. Okemili was said to have appealed against the judgment at the Supreme Court.
