A Federal High Court sitting in
Port Harcourt Monday issued a restraining order on the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, not to recognise candidates of both factions of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, for this year’s general elections.
Justice J.K Omotosho ruled that
following the nullification of the congresses of the APC in Rivers state, the
direct and indirect primaries conducted by both factions of the party were
built on nothing.
Justice Omotosho therefore
declined the request of Senator Magnus Abe and forty-three others asking to be
declared as authentic candidates of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers
State.
The judge said the restraining
order on INEC is binding until a higher court sets aside the ruling of Justice
Chiwendu Nworgu nullifying the congress and primaries conducted by the APC in
the state.
