Court Stops INEC From Delisting Owan-Enoh As APC Governorship Candidate In Cross Rivers.
Channels TelevisionThe Court of Appeal sitting in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, has ordered a stay of execution on the Federal High Court judgement, which ordered the delisting of Senator John Owan-Enoh as the governorship flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State.
Senator Owan-Enoh and the Minister of Niger Delta, Usani Usani, are both in contention for the party’s ticket for Cross River State governorship seat. He, however, granted the Ochala faction of the party leaves to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court, which had on February 11 recognised the Etim John faction of the APC as the authentic leadership of the party in the state.
But responding to the stay of execution order by the Appeal Court, the counsel to Senator Owan-Enoh explained that INEC had misinterpreted the Federal High Court order by delisting the names of the candidates of the APC earlier sent to the commission.
