…APPEAL COURT COMMENCES HEARING NEXT WEEK, FED HIGH COURT ADJOURNS TILL MARCH 15

The Peoples Democratic Party has formally disowned the governorship claims by a federal House of Representatives Member, Mr Michael Enyong, insisting that Pastor Umo Eno remains its candidate for the 2023 Governorship elections in Akwa Ibom State.

This is the basis of an Appeal filed by the Party at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, challenging the judgement of a lower court in favour of Mr Michael Enyong’s claims.

The PDP has also filed a Stay of Execution notice at the Appeal Court, following the determination of the substantive appeal filed.

Hearing on the appeal is expected to commence next week.

Following the pending appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a federal high court in Abuja has adjourned hearing on the applications by the Governorship Candidate of the Party, Pastor Umo Eno.

Pastor Umo Eno was applying be joined in the suit as an interested party, and was also praying that the court grants stay of execution in the judgement given two weeks ago.

However the Presiding Judge, Justice Obiora Egwatu upheld the arguments of Mr Enyong that since the PDP has already made an appeal at the appellate court on the same matter, it was necessary for the High Court to adjourn till March 15, when the matter would have been concluded at the Appeal Court.

Defeated governorship aspirant of the party, Michael Enyong had gone to the Federal High Court in Abuja to obtain a judgement after alleging that he was the authentic winner of the PDP primaries which he personally conducted in his compound.

The pending applications for stay of execution by both the PDP at the Appeal Court and the PDP Governorship candidate at the lower court, means that Pastor Umo Eno remains the candidate of the PDP for the Akwa Ibom State Governorship race.

He will.

The Appeal Court has on another case affirmed him and that matter is before the Supreme Court so, INEC will leave everything like that.

In the next couple of weeks we will know the rightful owner of the PDP ticket. Meanwhile this has destabilized PDP in AKS as other parties are gathering more momentum ahead of the polls on the 11th March, 2023.

I'm hearing two contradicting Breaking News.
Let the State PDP drama continue. . . .

Mike Enyong vs PDP, INEC

The Federal High Court in Uyo has today refused to entertain an appeal brought before it by the sacked Akwa Ibom PDP Governorship Candidate, Pastor Umo Eno.

Pastor Eno through his legal counsel had approached the Federal High Court in Uyo asking it to set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court in Damaturu that sacked Pastor Eno. They also prayed the court to grant them a Stay "of Execution " against the implementation of the Damaturu judgement by INEC.

Unbeknownst to Umo Eno and his legal team, Dr Mike Enyong had got wind of their Nicodemus Appeal at the Appellate Court and also filed his Appeal.

But since, Umo Eno had approached a Federal High Court in Abuja and also in Uyo, the Federal High Court in Uyo in its ruling refuses to entertain the case and asks the both parties to seek remedy at the Appeal.

As it stands, Dr Engr Mike Enyong remains the authentic Akwa Ibom State PDP Governorship Candidate for the 2023 governorship election.

Are they not all pre-election cases that seeks to determine the rightful Candidate? A Stay will likely be sought and gotten, that's by the way.

It was on NL here in December that a Silas Onu v Okorie suit led the FHC Abuja to nullify all the PDP Primary in Ebonyi. INEC delisted all Ebonyi PDP Candidates.

The next week, Odii & co were reinstated without a new Primary and without an Appeal Court Judgement.
