The APC does not have a governorship candidate yet in Akwa Ibom State.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress , Ita Enang, on Tuesday, prayed a Federal High Court, , Abuja, to commit his rival for the APC governorship ticket in Akwa Ibom State, Akanimo Udofia to prison for alleged perjury.
The judge, Agatha Okeke, in the suit instituted by Mr Enang, ordered the APC to conduct a fresh governorship primary within two weeks but barred Mr Udofia from participating in the new primary.Mr Enang, a former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Niger Delta, also prayed Justice Nwite to dismiss the suit for lack of diligent prosecution.
He also asked for an order directing the commission to publish his name as forwarded by the party to it.But Mr Enang’s appearance in court forced the judge to halt the delivery of the judgment. The judge had ordered all parties in the suit, including the INEC, to file their processes before the next adjourned date fixed for hearing.But upon resumed hearing on Tuesday, Mr Kalu informed the court that he had not filed any application because an Abuja Court of Appeal, on 24 December, 2022, reserved judgment in a similar case pending before it.
On Mr Kalu’s submission that no one would suffer any injustice, Mr Enang said: “My lord, we have suffered untold and irreparable injustice from the hand of the plaintiff in this matter.”
