The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State said it is considering approaching a court of competent jurisdiction to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to produce Certified True Copies of documents used in the last governorship election at the tribunal.
This is as the party disclosed that seven of its house of assembly candidates have successfully filed their applications at the state election petition tribunal.
Nwauju however said he could not lay his hand on the specific constituencies of the assembly candidates. Recalled that the party’s governorship candidate, Tonye Cole, had met a brick wall in trying to secure CTC documents from the INEC headquarters in Port Harcourt. Nwauju stated, “Seven or eight assembly candidates have filed their petitions.” For the APC’s governorship candidate, he said the party had yet to file, but that it was considering other options.
