APC candidates in Rivers State asked Judge to recuse himself from case instituted against them by PDP

Candidates of the All Progressives Congress APC in Rivers State for the 2023 general elections have asked the presiding judge of court 4 of the Federal High Court Port Harcourt division Justice Pam to recuse himself from the case instituted against them by Rivers State PDP.

The candidates were present in court today, alongside their legal representatives who made this known after the Judge displayed unacceptable position which explains bias and an obvious interest of a person on an errand to ruin the interest of the APC in the forth coming 2023 general elections in Rivers State.

The candidate for the Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency a legal mpractioner, Barr. Ezemonye Ezekiel Amadi appeared for himself and made known position of other candidates to the press.

Barr. Ezemonye Ezekiel Amadi expressed lack of confidence in the disposition of justice Pam to matters concerning the All progressive congress in River State

Barr. Ezemonye said:

"Justice Pam have consistently shown bias in cases concerning the APC especially in Rivers State and that is not unconnected to his open and we'll publicized relationship with the Governor of Rivers State Nyesom wike."

"I appeared in court partly to inform the court that I have raised a petition to the DCR for this purpose but Justice Pam refused to hear me."

"He should take the honourable step and stay off the case as I am certain I will not get justice from his court."

"The petition I have sent to the DCR/Administrative judge of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt division is on behalf of myself as I also know that my colleague candidates have done and are doing same, Justice Pam should not sit over this case"

When asked what should be expected as actions from the candidate, Barr. Amadi responded;

"The case have been adjourned to August 29, 2022 for hearing. I am glad there is a good time for me to take all necessary action within the law to get justice; the kind that Justice Pam cannot give.
