The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

The All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Peoples Democratic Party have rejected the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to drop their preferred candidates for the Anambra State Governorship election slated for November 6, 2021.

The commission, however, named Andy Uba, who won the controversial primary of the All progressives Congress, as the candidate of the party. In the case of the PDP, a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on Thursday ordered INEC not to publish the name of any candidate pending the determination of a pending suit challenging the primary.

“Order that all parties to this suit be put on notice, and I also further order that status quo shall be maintained by INEC by not publishing the name of any candidate as the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice,” the enrolled order of the court read in part.Both are laying claim to the party’s ticket.
