A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, nullified the primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State.
He, therefore, ruled that all those elected from the primary election not be recognised as candidates.The party’s state Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, in a statement made available to our correspondent on Tuesday, said the attempt to exclude the main opposition party in the state from the ballot in 2023, like what happened in 2019, will fail.
The statement read, “We do believe firmly that the appellate court shall treat the matter dispassionately and deliver justice in this matter because this is not an action against the primaries of our party, but an attempt at challenging the composition of our delegates list. “We assure Rivers people that the attempt to rehash the 2019 episode in Rivers State is already dead on arrival. Nothing will stop the APC in Rivers State from being on the ballot in 2023.”All rights reserved.
