The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it has submitted
names of its nominees to replace the sacked Ebonyi State
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Deputy, Eric
Kelechi Igwe to the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC).
PDP National Chairman, Senator Dr Iyorchia Ayu disclosed
that the party submitted the names of Hon. Iduma Igariwey
as governor and Fred Udogwo as a deputy to INEC.
Ayu stated this while addressing a world press conference
at the PDP National Headquarters, Wadata Plaza, Abuja on
Tuesday.
PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, who
disclosed this at a world press conference on
Tuesday in Abuja, hailed the judgement, saying “the
judiciary is indeed the backbone of this
democracy.”
Ayu, who appreciated the Nigerian judiciary for what
he described as a “landmark judgement”, said the
verdict will bring order in the political space and
check the issue of political rascality and stolen
mandates.
He continued, “We also want to single out Justice
Inyang Ekwo for special recognition, particularly for
being courageous and forthright in going for the
substance of the law rather than the technicalities.
“And in line with the court order, PDP is
immediately submitting to INEC the names of our
candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of
Ebonyi State respectively.
“We are also calling on INEC to immediately issue
the Certificates of Return to the PDP nominees as a
replacement for Messrs Umahi and Igwe, pursuant
to the Order of the Honourable Court.”
Responding to questions, Ayu said the party
nominated Hon Iduma Enwo Igariwey as a
replacement for Governor David Umahi and Fred
Udeogu as deputy governor.
PDP National Chairman also called on the Chief
Judge of Ebonyi State to immediately swear them
in as soon as INEC issues the requisites Certificates
of Return.
The Chairman of the opposition party also called on
INEC to immediately withdraw the Certificates of
Return from the 17 lawmakers and commence the
process of conducting bye-elections to replace them
This followed a verdict of a Federal High Court in Abuja,
which sacked Governor Umahi and his deputy, Igwe,
following their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)

Joke of the century

Igbo leaders and their ashawo plus 'food is ready' politics. Serves Umahi right. Umahi and Igbo leaders in general are unprincipled.

The masters of defection politics in search of selfish interest and quickest 'chopulation'.

They do not care for enduring with political platforms and nurturing them. They are the reason APGA is an empty barrel today. They always want to cynically hijack platforms real and principled politicians like Tinubu, Bisi Akande etal have created.

Same Igbos who hound Tinubu hypocritically daily should tell us when he has ever engaged in ashawo politics like their leaders to include Ngige, Kalu, Obi, Umahi and many others.

Joke of the century

Maybe so but good it is happening. Perhaps it will remind Igbos, the biggest hypocrites in Nigeria, to mind their rotten political backyard, full of rotten fruit leaders, instead of obsessing daily with defaming the character of the politicians of others.
