The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it has not concluded deliberations on the court judgment that sacked Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Deputy, Kelechi Igwe.
INEC’s spokesman, Festus Okoye, said INEC would meet next week to deliberate further on the issue before making its decision public.
Okoye noted that it has been joined in 71 new cases in various courts in Nigeria, and most of them are not directly its concerns.
An Abuja Federal High Court had sacked Umahi, Igwe and 16 lawmakers for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
