Ahead of October 31 earlier scheduled for the Cross River North Senatorial bye-election , the Independent National Electoral Commission had been caught in the conflicts of interests that have dotted the controversial Cross River North Peoples Democratic Party Senatorial primary.
The party had organised its primary in Ogoja on September 5 where two candidates emerged. Party officials that came for the primary were divided. A faction, led by the chairman of the electoral panel, Olorogun Taleb Tebite declared the former Chairman of Cross River State Universal Basic Education Board , Dr. Stephen Odey winner. One of the INEC officials from Calabar, who observed the primary, Mr.
A top PDP stalwart, who pleaded anonymity, said, “INEC policy is that INEC headquarters, Abuja, must monitor and write the report on such primary, which it did by declaring that Jarigbe won. But INEC Calabar wrote its own report, insisting that Odey won. So, INEC is the one giving conflicting reports, because it is suspected that the electoral umpire may have soiled its hands. It is surprising that INEC that supervised one primary election would end up giving conflicting results.
Despite the tension, intrigues and confusion, INEC spokesman in Abuja, Mr. Festus Okoye, in a telephone interview with The Guardian, said, “We are prepared; we have a bye-election in 11 states of the federation and we are preparing for all of them at the same time.
Thus, on October 19, Adedipe had argued in court that his client needed to be joined in the matter because whatever the outcome, it will affect his client, saying, “they filed a case here that they are the ones who should be the candidate and that INEC should publish their person’s name and we said since we are directly affected we want to join… but they are opposing it.”
