The first runner-up in the Anambra
governorship primaries of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Mrs. Uche
Ekwunife, has gone to court to challenge the eligibility of the
party’s candidate in the November 16 election, Chief Willie Obiano.
Ekwunife, a member of the House of
Representatives, is contending that the alleged double registration
status of Obiano with the Independent National Electoral Commission as a
voter disqualified him from contesting the election.
In the suit filed at the Federal High
Court, Awka, in suit number FHC/AWK/CS/281/2013, Ekwunife is also asking
the court to declare her as the candidate of APGA.
Obiano, APGA and INEC are the defendants in the suit. No date has been fixed for hearing in the suit.
Ekwunife is also seeking, among other
reliefs, that INEC should be compelled to recognise her as the candidate
of the party for the November 16 governorship election in Anambra
State, based on Obiano’s double registration.
Culled From Punch.
Wait oooo. There is something I don't understand here. I thought Ekwunife directed her supporters to vote for Obiano.
