INEC Delists All APC Candidates In Rivers, Smooth Ride For PDP by TheMainone: 5:15am On Jan 19, 2019 |
By John Amieyeofori The lingering crisis within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state has become a major blessing to the state ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which remained unchallenged in the forthcoming general elections. It is all smiles for PDP as all candidates of APC have been barred from contesting elections in Rives state by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following orders of the courts. INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Mr Obo Effanga, said the decision by the commission followed the outcome of the ruling on the litigation between two factions in the state’s APC. Effanga noted that the APC factions of Sen. Magnus Abe and that of the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, had been in court over the conduct of congresses by the party. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, had on Monday ordered INEC to expunge the names of candidates representing the APC in Rivers in the February and March general elections. The REC said that INEC had to obey the ruling of the court. The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, ruled on the suit brought before him, asking the court not to recognise any candidate from the state APC. Omotosho referred to an earlier ruling by the Rivers High Court, which nullified the ward, local government and state congresses held by the state APC. “All nominations in the APC, from governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and others, are hereby nullified and void and set aside. “Only political parties that conducted valid primaries are eligible to produce candidates for the general elections,” the judge ruled. With the ruling, the main alternative opened to electorate in the state is PDP which APC has been threatening for some years.

Though I'm not a fan of Nyesom Wike but honestly I respect his doggedness and toughness. He surely have a hand in this court ruling. It was he who made Amaechi governor thru the court while he ran away in Ghana. He also threw out G.U Ake out as PDP state party Chairman and installed his stooge as Chairman. He is widely connected in the Judiciary and can get what he wants thru the court. Amaechi only knows how to run his mouth like someone suffering from diarrhea, though he performed well during his administration but his failure is his lack of respect and talk talk like fool. 147 Likes 15 Shares |

The way PDP will trash APC this 2019 ehn I just feel pity for buhari, he might die of heart attack. Zamfara, river state is already in the bag. I've never seen Christians campaigning for buhari. Even the southerners supporting him like ameachi, oshiomole,akpabio are already mingling with Pdp. SMH 50 Likes 4 Shares |

Amaechi last hope is Buhari winning. If Buhari loose, Amaechi, Laurette the drunk, Lai Mohammed etc will be undergoing Dino and Dasuki treatment for the next four years. Nigeria will be too hot for Amaechi. He had better go make peace with Wike, banking on Buhari winning the election is just too risky. Fashola kept is mouth shout, so PDP might just let him relocate to Lagos jejely. While those other big mouths will get dragged around by EFCC. 46 Likes 4 Shares |
