Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has refused the request by the Lamidi Apapa's faction to stop the candidate of the Labour Party, Athan Achonu from contesting this Saturday's Governorship election in Imo State on the platform of the party. The request brought by the faction through its counsel, Mohammed Ndarani Mohammed, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria was outrightly rejected by the Judge on Friday for being premature.
'More importantly, the issues raised by INEC in its affidavit to show cause on why an injunction should not be granted are not controverted, hence, the means of showing cause is not designed to resolve this kind of sensitive issues.
