The governor spoke through a statement by his director-general, press and media affairs, Mamman Mohammed, on Thursday, September 1, in Abuja.

He said only mischief-makers were misinterpreting the order as it was directed at the Delta state caretaker chairman and not him, Buni.

The statement read:

“Mr. Elvis Ayomanor and seven others on 19th August instituted a case against the APC and its leadership in a High Court of Justice, Asaba, Delta state, challenging the outcome of the party’s ward congress of 31st July, 2021.

“The applicants also sought the court to issue interim injunction to restrain the chairman and members of the caretaker extraordinary convention planning committee from acting or parading themselves as leaders of the party pending the determination of the case against the outcome of the ward congress in Delta state before the court."
