On the missing name on his school certificate, he noted that he has taken due process and corrected same.
Lawyer for the disgruntled candidate, Richard Abaaduko Adaazabra noted that his client has not been fairly handled by the leadership of he party, but he is hopeful the court would reason with him grand their plead to place the interlocutory injunction on the pending election.
