The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final lists of candidates for outstanding National and States’ Houses Assembly elections, ahead of the bye-elections in 11 states scheduled for today.
This is coming amidst conflicting orders from the courts in the Federal Capital Territory and Cross River State judiciary. There is crisis in Cross River North Senatorial District to replace Senator Rose Okoh, who died early this year. This is because two courts of equal jurisdictions had Wednesday in Abuja and Calabar issued conflicting orders. One of which, affirmed Dr. Stephen Odey as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while the other declared Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe as the duly elected candidate of the PDP for the bye election in Cross River.
