…As Shock, disbelief trail Soludo’s disqualification in APGA ELEVEN ASPIRANTS in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who at the commencement of the congresses pledged to work for the realization of the party’s victory in the gubernatorial polls have taken their collaboration to a higher level.
The 11 aspirants Vanguard learnt at the weekend have obtained an injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC from interfering in the ongoing congresses. The injunction is to be served on INEC this morning, authoritative sources in the Group of 11, G11 told Vanguard at the weekend. The injunction it was learnt follows fears among the aspirants that INEC could intervene to the extent of declaring the ward congresses conducted by the Ken Emeakayi led mainstream of the party illegal. Indications to a possible decision by INEC follows the commission’s insistence that it only recognizes the Ejike Oguebego faction of the party which reportedly has the sympathy of Chief Chris Uba.
There is little doubt among PDP partisans in Anambra that the coalition of aspirants which obtained the injunction is aiming its arsenal against Senator Andy Uba, the PDP’s candidate in 2007 and one of the most powerful forces on ground in the state. Senator Uba is presently the chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC and the 11 aspirants in the Emeakayi camp according to sources fear that Senator Uba may use his influence on the commission to get it to recognize the nomination congresses being organized by the Oguebego faction of the party. “We will not take chances and that is why we are going this way,” one of the aspirants involved told our reporter Activity
