•Uba, Ozigbo emerge in factional exercisesThere was confusion yesterday in Anambra over the conduct of the governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party as two factions of the party held separate elections.
The court on June 9, 2021 had dismissed the applications filed by the national office of the PDP and two others. ” Consequent upon the above, the Commission wishes to intimate you on the need to comply with same. Accept the assurance of the Commission’s high regards, please.” Justice Adeniyi said the statement made on June 9, by the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP Anambra in which he disparaged the court and its judgment was an affront to the court, adding that they do not expect a court they have insulted to grant them an indulgence.
“For them to come back with a motion for stay of execution and injunction pending the determination of their appeal, in my view, is a clear afterthought. I there say that no court worth its authority will grant any such application, no matter how well presented and argued,” Justice Adeniyi said. The judge ordered the PDP to henceforth recognise and adopt only the list of the already inaugurated party officers and delegates that emerged from the Anambra PDP congresses conducted on November 28, 2017 and December 1, 2017 validated by Senator Grace Bent Ward Congress Appeal Panel report and Barrister Ukpai Ukairo Local Government Appeal Panel report, under the supervision of Sir Chukwudi Umeaba, who shall continue to act in the capacities for which they were duly elected.
He addressed journalists at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, shortly after a closed door meeting with governorship aspirants. “I am determined to have a free, fair and credible primaries and that is why we engaged ourselves inside to make sure that all the fears of the aspirants are sorted out. At the end of the day, we all agreed to go ahead.
