Mr Igariwey currently represents the Afikpo North/Afikpo South federal constituency of the state in the House of Representatives.
Meanwhile despite the court judgement, Mr David Umahi said he remains the governor of Ebonyi and faulted the position of the judge.
The sacked governor argued that the court lacked the powers to remove him as governor as he is covered by the immunity clause.
He said the constitution stipulates that the only way a governor can vacate his seat is either by death, resignation or impeachment by the House of Assembly.
“There is no other provision that empowers a hatchet man to turn the constitution upside down. I have listened to the judgement of Ekwo and it is very obvious that he was on a mission. He was making all efforts to upturn the rulings of the Appeal and Supreme courts on issues like this which protects him (me) from any form of litigation that is not a pre-election and tribunal matter,” the governor said.
He added that he has sent his petition against Ms Ekwo to to the Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC).
Mr Umahi recently declared his intention to run for president under the APC, a move he had denied was part of his reasons for leaving the PDP.
