A gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of the Young Progressive Party, YPP, Alexander Asuquo, has slammed a N1bn suit against the chairman of the party, and Senator Bassey Albert jointly and severally for their alleged role in blocking him from emerging as the Akwa Ibom State gubernatorial candidate of the party in the state for the 2023 election.
According to the suit filed before a Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, the YPP, Dr Nyeneime Andy Eno, Senator Bassey Albert and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC are the 1st to 4th defendants in the suit.
The matter has been adjourned until August 30, 2022, for hearing.
The court also ordered that processes be served on the YPP Akwa Ibom State Chairman, Dr Nyeneime Andy Eno and Senator Bassey Albert, as it was alleged that they were evading service.
It would be recalled that a lawyer and governorship aspirant of YPP, Alexander Asuquo, had dragged Senator Bassey Albert before the court over an alleged attempt to inherit the YPP ticket from the party chairman, Dr Nyeneime Andy Eno.
