A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State, Senator John Owan Enoh, has said he would no longer go to the Supreme Court over the party’s governorship ticket because of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Senator Enoh had gone to a Federal High Court and later the Court of Appeal both in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, challenging the outcome of the APC primary poll in the state, but couldn’t make it.
Addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, the lawmaker said he would no longer continue with the legal tussle to the Supreme Court and work for the party’s victory in next year’s elections because of Tinubu’s appeal.
He said, “The occasion of the town hall meeting of Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at the instance of the presidential candidate of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has gone down as a watershed and turning point for me in seeking further redress in the matter.
“The public appeal by the presidential candidate and national leader of our party is such a humbling experience, which I cannot ignore under any circumstance. I had cause to confer with my immediate family and consult widely with my teeming supporters across the state after that occasion.
“On this note therefore, I have taken the hard decision to put an end to the litigation and instead work for the success of the party.”
