PDP drags Lawmaker to Court for  Forgery

By Odo Ogenyi,Uyo

The People Democratic Party, PDP, in Akwa Ibom has sent a petition to the Police, against Mr. Michael Enyong, a member of the House of Representatives, accusing him of forgery and demanding for his prosecution. 

A two-page petition signed by Uwemedimo Nwoko, SAN, Counsel to the PDP obtained by newsmen in Uyo yesterday stated that Enyong: “deliberately conspired with four others including Dr. Idongesit Henry, Mr Samuel Effanga, Mr. Monday Sampson and Dr. Ubong Ufot to forge the result of the Governorship primaries of the PDP held in Uyo on the 25th May, 2022.

According to the petition, in forging the said result, Enyong also “forged the signatures of the Principal Officers of the Party including that of Senator (Dr.) Iyochia Ayu, National Chairman of PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary, Umaru Bature, National Organizing Secretary as well as the signatures of the Returning Officer and the Electoral Officer.

It said the authentic Electoral Committee for the state was chaired by Philip Shaibu, Deputy Governor of Edo State, with Dr. Kabiru Usman, Mamman Usman, Stephen Asya, Barr. Karen Njoku, Mariam Baba and Barr. Edward  Odubesan as members.

It said that, “Mr. Enyong and his cohorts mischievously circulated forged documents both within Akwa Ibom State and outside claiming that he (Mr. Enyong) was the winner of the PDP Governorship Primary Election held on the 25th May, 2022 in Akwa Ibom State. 

“He (Mr. Enyong) also used the same forged documents to obtain Judgement of a competent Court of Law.” The petition said.

Attached to the petition were copies of the letter that appointed the PDP Governorship Primary Election Committee, the Authentic Result of the  PDP Governorship Primary Election held on May 25, 2022 and a copy of the forged result used by Mr. Enyong to obtain a court judgement. 

The PDP therefore demanded that, “Hon. Michael Enyong be promptly  apprehended and prosecuted alongside his cohorts for this heinous crime.”

It would be recalled that Enyong conducted a separate governorship primary for himself inside his own residence in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, while the official PDP Primary was ongoing at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
