“The judgement said that my claim that the party was making serious efforts to substitute my name without my consent was a speculation. That there is no evidence that I have been substituted as the Governorship candidate of Labour Party in Ebonyi State. It didn’t say that am no longer the Governorship candidate.
“Let me use this opportunity to plead with my supporters all over the state to remain calm and resolute because efforts are on top gear to recover our stolen mandate.”

Oko-Eze petitioned the lower court to prohibit the LP and INEC from altering the party’s candidacy for the governorship race in Ebonyi.
Each and every request was answered.
However, LP’s attorney, Chijioke Emeka, stated that his client was denied a fair hearing due to the court’s hurried handling of the matter and hasty decision, which violated all procedural safeguards.
In addition, he stated that the party possessed the authority to control its interim leadership without judicial intervention.
The question of the governorship candidacy, according to Emeka, was premature and speculative.
