OBA hasn't join YPP yet, most of his supporters have made the moves in droves to the new bride party clinching tickets for various elective positions in YPP.
(E.g) Barr. Usenobong Akpabio is a Senatorial Candidate for Uyo senatorial district under YPP, he was a two-term member, AKHA.

Others who are already a YPP card carrier are waiting for him to make the audacious move in the coming weeks. YPP billboards &stickers are all over Uyo creating awareness to residents of the state.

I'll have preferred labour

poiZon:

Stay away doesnt mean they didn't participate.

They had votes..

U can stay away from an events, it won't rule the fact that u r part of the event.

What if OBA had won?
Will his stay away invalidate his victory?

.

Senator OBA &Onofiok Luke withdrew before the primaries writing officially to the chairman of AKS PDP, after siting Court order of Maintaining Status Quo Ante Bellum
The vote you saw OBA had was to make jest of him, appearing as if he stood the primaries, there is nowhere Pastor Umo Eno would have defeated Senator OBA, Rt. Hon Onofiok Luke, Mr. Akan Okon, Rt.Hin. Mike Enyong &others on a free and fair contest devoid of influence from the Governor or the party hierarchy.

The primaries was influenced by the Governor &he closedly monitored it.
This impunity is what is affecting the AKS PDP today.

Lagos is completely one party state,no body challenges.pdp is useless there.before tinubu imposes,he consults and then bring an acceptable and someone the party likes.he makes sure all interests are taken care of..
In aks,its not so.attah tried it and failed in 2007.in 2015,akpabio begged everyone to accept udom,he tried to satisfy all factions...he settled Luke and oba.only umanah umanah got angry and left.as of then,apc was nonexistent in aks...with the entrance of nsima and akpabio,apc became stronger and competitive.. Udom won his second term because oba,Luke,nelson effiobg,akan okon sided with him...he promised to handover to one of them and they used thugs and cultists to overwhelm apc..now,he is saying he doesnt want cultists and thugs that fought for him.who does that? Did he consult anybody before bringing that albino? Even if he doesnt want them oba,he should still have brought someone very popular in the party from same ITU/ibiono axis...udom is a foolish politician.

If court rules in favour of both eno and udofia,you will see the gangup against eno.those thugs he spoke against will be used against him

Those thugs are not only controlled by Oba n onofiok..

Also nelson effiong was the first senator to defect to Apc in akwaibom unless u r talking about another nelson effiong aka tabasco.

The 2 popular guys aggrieved in pdp r from Uyo senatorial district.

I'm not hearing any aggrieved persons from ikot ekpene and eket senatorial district.

I'm from ikono, our axis is 100% loyal to pdp..

Apc will have a hard time to grind votes there.

Akan udofia might be popular but i don't see whose structure he will ride to victory..
Akpabio structures is still loyal to pdp, from enoidem to aniekan umana down to eket zone..
Are those guys aggrieved?



All the representatives have been returned, except mccaire that completed ikono'sturn.

Likewise me, but he has his reasons, maybe Senator Ifeanyi Uba of YPP his colleague at the Senate who is also the National political leader of the party may have influenced his decisions, again Apostle Yeneime Andy the state chairman of the Party who is also the current Governorship Candidate of YPP is a close pal to the Distinguished Senator OBA.

Or maybe Onofiok Luke had already shown interest to join Labour party earlier, you know Peter Obi has given Labour party a new face.

He is joining soon, there is still time to substitute names or name replacement as enshrine in the electoral law, he will make it known to you &other members of the public soon via public declaration. He is putting some workable strategies on ground to kick-start his new sojourn in the new Party, of course he said it on Air, that he will definitely be on the ballot.

Oba and Luke have more boys than anybody.even akpabio depended on them.udom is too small to impose someone on Ibibio people.let the ibibios themselves decide.ikono is under ikot ekpene zone though still Ibibio...even Ephraim inyang is angry

The Court has a duty to interpret the Constitution or any Electoral Act in any way.

INEC and indeed every other body in Nigeria MUST obey the Order of the Court. The Court will not go outside the Act or Constitution to make that decision, they are simply interpreting what the Senators and House of Reps have passed.

.

Good explanations, you see, the Law is funny at times, i implore those that wants to contest should study the Constitution, Party guildlines, Electoral Laws etc to be properly guided, & hire a Lawyer to interpret it for clarity sake, the day I realize that Chief Chris Ngige is not a former Governor of Anambra State in the eyes of the Law i just weak, dont joke with the LAW.
Nigige after spending three years on seat Was termed to have been on a stolen Mandate. Supreme court ruled Mr. Peter Obi as Governor, after a protracted Legal tussle.

That guy arguing, is he not in this country, where elected Governors &other elected politicians under the supervision of INEC gets upturn by court ruling??

funny dude, you wan chop him money or you want him as your next Governor?? Which one?

Electoral Law allows that, but the Party &the ticket holder will have to write officially to INEC stating reasons why he or she needs or wants to be replaced or substituted. INEC will acknowledge it &do the needful within time frame. I think section 31 &33 of the electoral law, takes care of that, even a candidate who has died before election can be replaced.

We are saying the same thing, but the Courts have the final say.

I don't think APC can win that case in AKS, and no Senator for them for AKS South..... But the Court always have the final say.

The PDP in AKS also have to watch it....there is a time-bomb there.

Yes the court has final say.

Time bomb for PDP, in what way? Or is it the ad-hoc delegates issues?

The new Electoral Act rules out State High Courts. Moreover, only an Akwa Ibom State High Court if any can sit on the matter.

State High Court is the same thing as Akwa Ibom State High Court, I think you were referring to a branch of Federal High Court, here in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State

Even with the rule, we have seen the State High Courts in Abia and Edo get away with that. So, what I meant was that even if Akpabio wants to play some hanky-panky, he can only do that at the AKS High Court, he won't go close to the FHC, he will lose flatly there.

But judgement on the Cert can be dispensed immediately without going to SC if Pastor Umo Eno is found wanting.

He can only be substituted with Akan Okon.

Only those who participated in the first one can compete in the second... Date for Primary is done, Okon came second.

INEC need to document every decision with letters or electronic mail or messages rather by taking decisions based on hearsay or alleged unproven undocumented conversation with a single individual.
Corruption in INEC is legendary.

So INEC chairman in a state who submitted a letter to the national, detailing what transpired is just a single individual to you. Go school u no gree... U de disgrace yourself the more.

Exactly, I told you here that the AKHA panel members that screened him might have known this during his Commissionership screening, but since the Governor wanted him ASAP to resume duties as Commissioner of Lands &Water Resources, he was let go by taking a bow.
The AKHA panel members may have hinted Mr. Akan Okon as an insider to use that against him in court, I still say it here, not all AKHA members are in tandem with the Governor's succession plan. Some of them have quietly picked up forms from other unpopular parties to contest in a bid to return back to the house or something higher like NASS, especially those who were disenfranchised.
I was told allegedly the Governorship screening committee in Port Harcourt noticed it, but maybe he was cleared based on Governor Udom's influence, after he wasn't cleared the first day he went for clearance. It took him time, a couple days but he was finally cleared.
Mr. Akan Okon has told the court that he was erroneously cleared during that exercise in Port Harcourt.

Some say the Cert has no security features expected of an Original Cert.
WAEC as an examination body will have to come out to testify in court if need be, about the certificate in question, if it is forged or not before the honourable court.

As for date of birth, that can be settled if he has an affidavit where he sworn to in a high court stating an exact date he was born. There are many Nigerians with inconsistencies in date of birth.

Mr. Akan Okon will be the only option for Gov. Udom if the case doesn't go in Pastor Umo Eno's favour. He came 2nd in the primaries with just 3votes, but if Mr. Akan Okon emerges, he still has the ad-hoc delegates issues to face till the end of the matter.

Just saw something in the EA 2022, there will be another Primary with conditions.

There will be a fresh Primary, only if it is done not lesser than 90 days to the election. You cannot withdraw once it's past 90 days to the election unless the in the eventuality of death.
