Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal High Court, FHC, in Abuja has refused to grant an application filed by Pastor Umo Eno and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Eno and his platform are seeking an order to set aside the judgement which declared Hon. Michael Enyong as the authentic governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom.<\/p>\n

During the primaries in May 2022, Eno polled 993 votes out of the 1018 accredited delegates, defeating over 10 other contestants.<\/p>\n

At the election held at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Aniekan Etim scored 2 votes while Enyong had 1 vote.<\/p>\n

On January 20, a Federal High Court in Abuja sacked Eno, former Commissioner for Lands and Water resources, as the party\u2019s governorship candidate.<\/p>\n

Delivering judgment in the suit FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/1295\/2022, Justice Fadima Aminu ordered the PDP to submit Enyong\u2019s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its flagbearer.<\/p>\n

Though Eno and the PDP approached the Court of Appeal to reverse the ruling, they filed a separate application at the FHC seeking an order for stay of execution.<\/p>\n

At the resumed hearing Friday, the court declined to entertain the application and adjourned till March 15.<\/p>\n

All parties were directed to argue their case at the Court of Appeal since suits have already been filed and are pending before the appellate court.<\/p>\n

Enyong is currently the member representing Uyo, Uruan, Nsit Atai, and Ibesikpo Asutan at the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker maintains he is the PDP governorship candidate for the March 11 election, despite the National Working Committee, NWC, backing Umo.<\/p>\n

The Christian leader and entrepreneur is the preferred successor of Governor Udom Emmanuel, Chairman of PDP Campaign Council, PCC, for presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n
