It would be recalled that the contentious governorship poll was for nomination of the party’s candidate for the 2019 general election.
Senator Magnus Abe, who is a factional leader of the Rivers APC, is praying the apex court to make a final pronouncement on the legality of both direct and indirect primary polls held by the parallel factions of the party last year.
When the matter was mentioned today, Senator Abe’s counsel, Henry Bello, moved a motion, praying the apex court to among others grant accelerated hearing in the matter, abridgment of time within which parties are to file their processes and a definite date for hearing of the appeal.
The motion dated March 1, was predicated on 8 grounds and affidavit of urgency among which is that the matter being a pre-election suit must by law be fully determined within 60 days.
While moving the motion, Bello prayed the 5 man panel of the apex court to grant his client accelerated hearing and to order parties to file and exchange their processes within time allowed by law for a pre-election matter.
Respondents in the appeal are; Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the All Progressives Congress and another governorship aspirant, Tonye Cole along with 36 others.
INEC, represented by Mathew Anyim, announced to the court that the electoral body had chosen to be neutral in the matter.
Celestine Agidi, who stood for Tonye Cole and his team did not object to the motion but however pleaded that 24 hours will not be sufficient for him to file his brief of argument.
In a ruling, the presiding Justice, Mary Odili granted the 3 prayers of the appellant and adjourned hearing in the matter till March 26.
Justice Odili also ordered Cole and other respondents to file their brief of argument within 3 days, while the appellant was granted 3 days within which to file his own response.
The APC though served with hearing notice was not represented in court by either a counsel or any of its staff.
