The Federal High Court sitting in Owerri has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the All Progressives Congress, APC to maintain status quo except the publication of the names of those who emerged in the primary conducted by Brigadier-General Ibrahim Agbabiaka.
According to the statement issued on Thursday by the chief press secretary to Governor Okorocha, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo said the order is to subsist until the final determination of the motion on Notice before the Court.
“With this development, the House of Assembly Candidates elected on the October 6, 2018 Primaries would have their names published by INEC pending the determination of the Motion on Notice before the Court.
“In other words, the picture of the situation over who and who are Candidates of APC in the State with regard to the House of Assembly primary has become clearer with the prevailing Federal High Court Order,” the statement deposed.
