Edo PDP Crisis: Nigerian Court Orders Electoral Commission, INEC To Recognise Candidates In Governor Obaseki's FactionHon. Justice S.M. Shuaibu, the Court granted all the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs.A Federal High Court sitting in Benin has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise and publish the names of candidates produced by Governor Godwin Obaseki’s faction of the Edo Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections.

The plaintiffs include the party's candidate for Edo South Senatorial District, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen; Sunny Aguebor for Oredo Federal Constituency, and the candidate for Akoko Edo Federal Constituency, Kabiru Adjoto. The Judge noted that based on past decisions by the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, the state chapter of a political party is not empowered by law to conduct party primaries.

According to Justice Shuaibu,"there is nothing before the Honourable Court to show that the primaries in which the 4th to 39th defendants participated were conducted by the National Working Committee of the PDP. Rather, their primaries were conducted by the Edo State chapter of the PDP".
