AN aggrieved member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), in Delta State has asked the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not to accept the nomination of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege nor field him as a candidate to contest for the office of Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming general election.
The plaintiff, Orakata Oviri also wants the court to restrain his party, the APC from clearing and fielding Omo-Agege as candidate to run for the office of Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the grounds that he is not qualified and fit to run for the office of Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State under the platform of the 1st Defendant (APC) .
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1046/2018, filed on September 24, 2018, and has the APC and INEC as defendants, the plaintiff is asking the court to determine, “Whether the 1st Defendant can validly clear Senator Ovie Omo Agege to contest the Primary elections under the platform of the 1st Defendant for the office of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Represent Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State.
“Whether the 2nd Defendant can accept the nomination of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to run for the 2019 general election for office of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to Represent Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State under the platform of the 1st Defendant.”
