Court ‘sacks’ Asue Ighodalo as Edo PDP governorship candidate
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has reportedly nullified the Edo People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary that produced Asue Ighodalo as candidate.
The primary election conducted on February 22, 2024, was voided on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by PDP.
The presiding judge, Justice Ekwo held that both the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and the PDP Guidelines were grossly violated in the conduct of the primary election at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.
When contacted by DockaysWorld, government sources dismissed the claims as mere propaganda by ‘agrrieved parties’, and advised the public to ignore them.
