Uba to INEC: Don’t declare any PDP candidat

As Nigeri­ans await the results of Satur­day’s election, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief­tain, Chris Uba, has warned the In­dependent National Electoral Commis­sion (INEC) not to declare results in the name of any candi­date of the party in Anambra state.

Uba, whose name and those in his line-up were earlier pub­lished by INEC as candidates before the list was changed three days to February 14 re-scheduled polls said the warning be­came imperative due to pending cases of all PDP candidates at the Supreme and Federal High Courts.
Speaking to news­men in Awka after Saturday’s election, Uba insisted that no PDP candidate would claim victory until the courts give judgment in the pending suits.
The Uba group had in a motion on notice filed at the Supreme Court, prayed for an order of injunction, restraining INEC from issuing any cer­tificate of return to any candidate of PDP for the 2015 National Assembly election in Anambra State, pend­ing the determination of the suit fixed for hearing on June 9, 2015.
