There appears to be uncertainty
over the temporary delay suffered by the gubernatorial primaries of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State
over lingering court cases in a State High Court sitting in Yenagoa, the
Bayelsa State Capital.
It was gathered that the PDP
is in court over two suits, one which sought to prevent the newly elected Local
Council chairmen, their deputies and councillors from voting in the
gubernatorial primaries billed to hold today, while the other suit sought to
enforce their right to participation in the primaries as provided for by
Section 25 of the PDP Constitution.
It was also learnt that some
concerned members of the APC also filed a suit seeking the court to grant an
order to vacate an interim order that restrained the APC from adopting direct
primary for its rescheduled August 31 governorship primary.
The cases that were adjourned for
judgement by 9:00 am today were further adjourned to later this afternoon as
the presiding judge, Justice E. G Umukoro, failed to put up appearance, leaving
supporters of both political parties that thronged the court premises in
dispair.
