Falsified Age Of PDP Candidate Discovered (SEE DETAILS)
According to documents obtained there are discrepancies in the birth date of Barr. Aida Nath Ogwuche, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the Ado/Ogbadibo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency of Benue State.
While her passport and National Identity Management Commission bio data page show her year of birth to be 1982, the form EC9 she submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated that she was born in 1987.
It appears that she has used different birth dates at different times to manipulate the system to her advantage.
Recently, the Court of Appeal declared Ogwuche’s nomination as “null” and “void” and ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to her and re-issue it to the runner-up, Francis Ottah Agbo, who is the current member representing the Federal Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on Narcotics and Drugs.
The court held that Ogwuche, who was declared the winner of the PDP primaries by INEC, was still a staff member of the Federal Inland Revenue Services at the time of the election.
Ogwuche has appealed the judgement at the Supreme Court.
