Reacting to the suit, the APC Publicity Secretary in the state, E.V Onojeghuo, described the suit as dead on arrival.
 43 candidates of the All Progressives Congress have been dragged to court by the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State.
PDP accused the party of allegedly violating the 2022 Electoral Act.
The Plaintiff in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1406/2022, is praying the
court to scrutinise and interpret the combined provisions of Section
82(1), (2), (5) and (8) and other enabling laws on that behalf, to
interrogate the actions and inactions of APC in relations to notices
served on INEC for congress and primaries.
Speaking to our correspondent on Monday in Asaba, the Executive
Assistant to Delta State Governor on Communication, Fred Oghenesivbe,
said that APC had deliberately violated relevant sections of the
Electoral Act 2022, by not adhering strictly to stipulated requirements
and time frame for the conduct of party congress.
He said, “The legal infractions committed by the APC have now
been subjected to legal interpretations and foreseeable consequential
orders via a lawsuit filed at the Federal High Court Abuja, by PDP.
“The Plaintiff is praying the court to compel the Independent
National Electoral Commission not to recognise all the candidates of the
APC in Delta State, for the purpose of 2023 general elections, and to
invalidate their candidacy.
“PDP is also praying the court to declare as null and void and
of no effect whatsoever, the candidacy of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the
Governorship candidate, Chief Ede Dafinone for Senator, Senator Peter
Nwaoboshi for Senate, Hon Waive Ejiroghene Francis for House of
Representatives and all other candidates of the party standing for
elections in 2023.
“The dates such notices were received, and whether or not APC
complied with the periods specifically stated in the aforementioned
sections of the Electoral Act 2022; and if not, to declare the congress,
primaries and candidacy of all APC candidates in Delta State, null and
void and of no effect whatsoever, and to expunge APC logo from 2023
ballot papers in the State.”
Reacting to the suit, the APC Publicity Secretary in the state, E.V Onojeghuo, described the suit as dead on arrival.
“This suit by the Delta State PDP is dead on arrival because it
is an exercise in futility for a drowning political party that is
clutching at straws.
“In the first place, the APC fully complied with the provisions
of the extant Electoral Act regarding the issuance of the relevant
notices regarding the conduct of our party primary. So we have nothing
to fear as far as we are concerned,” he said.
The APC chieftain said that PDP was an act of deranged desperation
as the case is already statute barred by the provisions of the 1999
Constitution, saying, the APC is confident that the case will not see
the light of the day. |
