A’Ibom 2023: PDP disowns Lawmaker’s guber claims, files appeal 

By Odo Ogenyi,Uyo

The Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, has formally disowned the governorship claims by a Federal Lawmaker, Mr Michael Enyong and insisted that Mr Umo Eno remained its candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state. 

This is the basis of an Appeal, No. CA/AB/CV/120/2023 filed by the PDP at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, challenging the judgement of a lower court in favour of Enyong’s claims. 

The PDP has also filed a Stay of Execution notice at the Appeal Court, pending the determination of the substantive appeal filed while hearing on the appeal is expected to commence next week. 

Following the pending appeal by the PDP, a Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned hearing on the applications by Eno where he applied to be joined in the suit as an interested party, praying that the court would grant stay of execution in the judgement delivered two weeks ago as well as set aside the earlier judgement. 

However the Court presided over by Justice Obiora Egwatu, upheld the arguments of Enyong that since the PDP has already filed an appeal at the appellate court on the same matter, it was necessary for the High Court to adjourn till March 15, when the matter would have been concluded at the Appeal Court. 

Enyong, a member of the House of Representatives had gone to the Federal High Court in Abuja to obtain a judgement after declaring himself the authentic winner of a PDP primary he was alleged to have personally conducted in his Uyo residence.
