A two-term member representing Uyo federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Mike Enyong, who emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in a parallel primary, said his action would rescue the party from not having any candidate at all in the forthcoming elections.

“I understood the implication of being part of the sham and opted for the parallel primary with statutory delegates with the Independent National Electoral Electoral Commission as observers, and officials from the national secretariat of our dear party.”

He stated further that he took advantage of his deep understanding of the Electoral Act, stressing that the May 18 Abuja High Court order on ad hoc delegates with status quo ante bellum, automatically left the party with no ad hoc delegates to conduct governorship primary for the party.
