The Independent
National Electoral
Commission (INEC) on Friday, April 1, said that
it did not disqualify, the
PDP candidate for Akuku-Toru Constituency 11, Mr.


Tonye Alalibo, from
participating in re-run election in Rivers.

Speaking in Port
Harcourt, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mr Aniedi
Ikoiwak, said that
the judgment of the
election tribunal and
Court of Appeal
excluded the party
and its candidate
from participating in
the election.

It would be recalled
that the All Progressives Congress candidate (APC), Mr Fredrick Anabraba, won the election for the
constituency with
2,970 votes.

Ikoiwak explained
that two days to the
re-run, the commission wrote to the state chapter of PDP informing it that
the party and its
candidate had been
excluded in the
election.

"The decision was
taken by the commission in compliance with the
judgment of the tribunal and that of
the Court of Appeal,”
he said.

The commissioner
said insinuations that
the commission
deliberately disqualified the candidate was false and baseless.

He said the courts
took the decision and
INEC complied.

Ikoiwak said the
commission will fix a
date for repeat
election in the eight
local government
areas where the
exercise was
cancelled due to
irregularities.

If I may asked, when did Nigerian institutions started respecting Court orders? Or is it because it affects the opposition?

In fact, such orders holds no water so long as the President himself had not obeyed same.
