Justice H.A. Nganjiwa of a Federal
High Court in Port Harcourt, has ordered the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept the result of
the primary election conducted by Ejike Oguebego’s faction of PDP in Anambra
State which declared Senator Andy Uba governorship candidate for the party in
the November 16 election.
The court held “that the 1st and 2nd
defendants are to forthwith comply with the order of this Honourable court made
on August 6, 2013.
The National Working Committee of the PDP has suspended Uba along with the four other aspirants for
failing to honour the party’s invitation over the parallel congress
organised in Awka on Saturday.
“That the 1st and 2nd
defendant are to accept the results that emerged from the plaintiffs’ ward
and state congresses pending the hearing and determination of the motion on
notice for interlocutory injunction or pending the hearing and determination of
the motion to set aside the interim order.
“That 1st and 2nd defendants are
hereby restrained from accepting the wards and state congresses results from
Ken Emeakey-led PDP executive from Anambra State, pending the hearing and
determination of the motion for interlocutory injunction and the motion to set
aside the interim order made on August 6, 2013”
Justice Nganjiwa adjourned the
matter to August 30.
