AYOGU EZE V. IFEANYI UGWUANYI: court adjourns till 27th February.

There is a clear evidence of increased political tension in Enugu state among notable political camps at the moment following the decision of a Federal High court siting in
Abuja, the Nigeria capital to shift till Friday 27, February 2015 the judgement on the case of who is the authentic Governorship
candidate of the ruling People Democratic Party PDP in the state involving Senator Ayogu Eze as Plaintiff and Hon. Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi as Respondent.
Senator Eze the member representing Enugu
North Senatorial District and Chairman
Senate Committee on Works who
championed a parallel primary election for
the governorship ticket of the PDP with a
different delegates, went to court to
challenge the decision of the leadership of
the party in fielding Ugwuanyi as its
governorship candidate in Enugu.
Eze is asking the court to declare him as the
authentic governorship candidate of the PDP
in Enugu state as according to him he was
duly elected by the party delegates who had
the mandate to elect the flag bearer of the
party for the governorship election in the
state.
On other hand, Ugwuanyi otherwise called
Gburugburu who commands intimidating
popularity all round the state, has already
rounded up his campaign tour to all the 17
Local government areas in the state in
anticipation of the April 11, 2015
rescheduled governorship election.
Originally, the judgement was scheduled to
hold today but the court adjourned till
Friday. Our correspondents who monitored
the political situation in Enugu following the
news about the shift in judgement day
reports that the shift in judgement day has
generated panic among the camps of
Senator Eze and that of Ugwuanyi..
Evidence of the panic in the town is based
on the fact that attempts by our
correspondents to get the views and
opinions of politicians from both camps
were futile as none of them was willing to
make comment on the matter.
As at the time of filling this report, no
politician yielded to request for comment
instead they referred to those who they
believe are in a better position to make
comment on the matter.
