Fah-Ntene is asking the court to direct INEC to disqualify Senator Magnus Abe for alleged double nomination in APC and SDP and that Ngboawaji Augustus should be disqualified as the state house of Assembly candidate.
She wants the court to restore her ticket as the rightful candidate of the party for Andoni State constituency following her victory at the party primary before she was unlawfully substituted.
Today FM’s Uchendu Ejiowhor reports that when the matter came up in court, Counsels to the 1st to 4th defendants moved a motion for extension of time to enable them file their counter affidavit and written addresses to the plaintiffs originating summons.
Presiding Judge, Justice Emmanuel Obile in his ruling said the defendant’s counsels have shown enough evidence which is in tandem with the constitution.
He therefore granted the request for extension of time to file their counter affidavits and written addresses.
