A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has disqualified Arch. Tonye Cole as Rivers State Governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC on grounds of dual citizenship.
Justice E. A Obile in a ruling on Thursday disqualified Cole for voluntarily acquiring citizenship of United Kingdom and declaration of allegiance to same country.
The court also said Cole was not being duly nominated by his political party as the party exhibited noncompliance with provisions of the electoral Act.
