Federal High Court sacks Okorie as Ebonyi PDP Chairman

Delivering judgment in the suit filed by Mr Silas Onu, challenging the election of Okorie, Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed held that Okorie was indolent in submitting his nomination form and could not be allowed to benefit from his wrongdoing.

The judge also granted the prayer asking for a declaration that Okorie was not qualified to participate in the election organized and held by the PDP in October 16, 2021 for failing and refusing to submit his nomination form on or before the fixed deadline of October 1, 2021. The judge also said the application failed because the PDP was silent on when Okorie submitted his nomination form.

It will be recalled that the Ebonyi chapter of the PDP, on October 16, 2021 elected Okorie as the new chairman of the party in the state.
