INEC delists APC candidates in Cross River few hours to elections

Friday, February 22, 2019 11:11 pm

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has directed its Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Cross River to remove the names of all candidates of All Progressives Congress (APC) from the ballot for the general elections.

The REC, Dr Frankland Briyai disclosed this to newsmen on Friday in Calabar.

According to him, the decision was in compliance with a Federal High Court order which recognised the Etim John-led State Executive Council of the party.

The court consequently ordered the Commission to recognise only candidates from the John-led State Executive Council.

However, INEC directed that the names and logo of the party should be retained, pending when the National Working Committee of APC would submit the names of candidates from the Etim John executive.

The letter which was signed by Mrs Rose Anthony, Secretary to the Commission, also directed the REC to update its record in respect of the list of candidates earlier sent to him.

The party in the state is factionalised between those loyal to John Ochalla and Etim John.

Top 5 celebrity fights of 2018

However, some celebrity fights did go down and they were notable indeed. A number of these fights were one-sided as the other parties paid little or no attention to the unnecessary bants. This made it easier for these fights to actually fizzle out quickly. Here are five of them. These are the top five celebrity fights we witnessed in 2018. 1. Daddy Freeze and Samklef The very first celebrity fight of 2018 was recorded in January when Daddy Freeze and Samklef got into a heated argument » over an event that took place in the church.
