The court, in the judgment delivered by Justice Inyang Ekwo, held that the PDP primaries conducted on February 22, failed to meet the requirements of the Electoral Act 2022, guidelines for the conduct of the poll, as well as party’s constitution.
He held that the exhibit presented by the PDP showed that the returning officers that prepared the result sheets merely sat at a place to manufacture the outcome of the exercise. Cited as1st to 4th defendants in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/165/2024, were the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the PDP, its National Secretary and its Vice Chairman, South-South.
In a statement, Aziegbemi said the misinformation about the removal of the PDP candidate was to deceive the party’s teeming members. It said: “Today, July 4, 2024, the Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Hon. Justice Inyang Ekwo entered a judgment in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/165 of 2024 , which was filed by some disgruntled persons who claimed that they were authentic delegates wrongly excluded from participating in the choice of the Peoples Democratic Party flag bearer in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Edo State.
“Furthermore, it must be noted that the claim in question and the judgment which arose therefrom did not in any shape or form invalidate or even challenge the outcome of the party primaries, which produced the candidate of the PDP for the forthcoming elections. “The news of the disqualification of Mr. Asue Ighodalo as the Peoples Democratic Party candidate has been received by Edo people as relief from imposition of forgery and continuation of self-serving governance in our state.
