LP appeals judgment sacking its Cross River senatorial candidate | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️
The court had sacked Asuquo on grounds that his name was not in the register of LP as he was in PDP when the list was submitted to INEC.
Briefing newsmen at Ernest Etim Bassey Press Centre, Calabar, yesterday, Asuquo said: “We reject the judgment and seek relief. Today, I’m still a candidate of LP. “I have filed an appeal and stay of execution. Hence, I am still in the race. I hear that the two parties are celebrating, but we will overcome. The judgment is against me alone, but by God’s grace, we will succeed. We are also using this opportunity to launch our party.”
The state Chairman of LP and its governorship candidate, Ogar Osim, said: “LP has come to lead this country and make reforms, especially on the judiciary. The court has said it’s the prerogative of a party to produce a candidate and another court is saying otherwise, giving conflicting judgment. “Asuquo is the LP Cross River South Senatorial District candidate. The judgment does not hold water and soon that will be corrected. We know this was done because of people who are afraid of him and the vote he will attract for Obi.“
