The All Progressives Congress Senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South zone, Princess Ann Ago-Eze, has appealed the judgement of a Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, which ordered the party to conduct fresh primaries to admit new aspirants.
The fresh election was sequel to a judgement delivered by Justice Fantua Riman of Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, ordering that new aspirants maybe allowed to participate in the election.
Mrs Agom-Eze noted that though the Judgment of Justice Riman was partly in her favour but she has filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal to seek remedy over the order of the Court for fresh primaries to admit new aspirants.
Agom-Eze in a statement issued to newsmen in Abakaliki, argued that since the winner of the election, Mr Austin Umahi had withdrawn from the race, she was the only outstanding winner of the election.
She noted that she sought the interpretation of the Appellate Court on why she was recognized as the authentic candidate by the judgement of the Federal High Court and as well ordered for a fresh election where new aspirants would participate.
She said," have keenly noted all the discussions, claims, outbursts, assertions, and accusations on the above matter, particularly with respect to my person and my role in the matter, and wish to state as follows:
"That it was Governor David Umahi that went to Court, I only joined the suit as it affects me, and erroneous claims made against my person.
"That although the Judgment of Hon. Justice Riman of the Federal High Court, Abakaliki was partly in my favour, I have filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal to seek remedy over the order of the Court for fresh primaries to admit new aspirants.
"That the general public and all concerned should be mindful of the fact that this matter is pending in the court of Law and as such I expect all concerned to be patient and stay all actions and allow the matter to run its course in the court of Law, I urge my supporters to remain calm and law-abiding."
