The head of the legal team to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Uwemedimo Nwoko, SAN, has stated that Pastor Umo Eno has been cleared of all legal disputes and remains the authentic candidate of the party for the forthcoming general elections.
The former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General in Akwa Ibom state said it was only ‘mischievous elements without sound legal knowledge and background’, that can peddle the falsehood that Pastor Eno has not been cleared as the candidate of the PDP.
Nwoko, in a chat with newsmen in Uyo on Monday stated that the Court of Appeal had made a final pronouncement on the matter in respect of the Michael Enyong case while the Supreme Court rested the matter in respect of Akan Okon’s case.
“At the moment, there is no court process filed against our client before us.
“So, in all the court cases concerning Eno’s candidature, the final decisions have been made, and there is no dispute as to that again.
“If you visit the INEC website now, you would find out the final correction that was filed by INEC as regards Eno, where his name was restored and INEC went as far as stating that it is by the order of court that his name was restored on the INEC platform.”
