Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant for the December 8, 2014, Abia State governorship primaries, Sir Friday Nwosu has vowed never to withdraw the suit he instituted against the Abia State governor-elect, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.
Nwosu had shortly after the party primaries dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), PDP and Dr. Ikeazu to court, claiming that tax papers which Ikpeazu presented to INEC and PDP were forged and based on that, he should be declared the rightful governorship candidate of the PDP for the 2015 polls.
The matter which was originally instituted at Federal High Court in Abuja was later transferred to Umuahia, the Abia State capital for quick adjudication.
Giving reasons he would not withdraw the case, Nwosu in a release said it was preposterous that some persons would by-pass his lawyers to pressurise and threaten him to withdraw the suit.
He said such persons including a former Attorney General of Abia State from Ngwa Land had informed him they based their actions on Ngwa patriotism.
Nwosu maintained that those who were pressurising and threatening to kill him if he failed to withdraw his suit, feigned ignorance of similar suits filed by another PDP aspirant, Dr. Uche Sampson Ogah and one Obasi Uche Ekeagbara, yet they applied to court to consolidate all the matters.
The former aspirant was of the opinion that if those pressurising and threatening him to withdraw the suit were acting in the larger Ngwa interest, they should have not bothered about Dr. Ikpeazu losing the matter to him since he was another Ngwa man from even the same local government with the governor-elect.
