The Independent National Electoral Commission ,INEC is in quandary concerning the Peoples Democratic Party convention slated for today due to the ambiguity of court judgements.
Justice Okon Abang in his ruling suspended the PDP convention, ordered the Police and Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) not to monitor the event while Justice Ibrahim Watila of the Federal High court in Port-Harcourt, had earlier mandated the police and INEC to monitor the event.
In a statement by INEC Deputy Director on Publicity and Voter Education, Mr Nick Dazang, made available on Tuesday in Abuja. Dazang said that INEC would come up with its position on motoring of the convention, adding that its staff were on standby for further directive.
“Even though the commission has been served the Port Harcourt High Court judgment, it is yet to be served the Abuja High Court judgment by Justice Abang.
“As soon as it (the Commission) is served the Abuja High Court judgment, it will take a decision.
“In the meantime, and following the Port Harcourt judgment, our monitoring staff are on standby,’’ Dazang said.
