“Two weeks ago, the commission received the candidate forwarded to it by the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the PDP, which had earlier secured an order from the Port Harcourt high court,” Dazang said.

It would be recalled that INEC had two weeks ago received the candidate forwarded to it by the Makarfi-led faction of the PDP which had earlier secured an order from the Port Harcourt High Court.
