The Federal High Court in Abuja has annulled the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primaries in Edo State, which took place on February 22 and resulted in Asue Ighodalo emerging as the party’s candidate. Justice Inyang Ekwo declared the PDP nomination processes invalid, citing non-compliance with the party’s constitution. The court found that 378 delegates were unlawfully excluded from voting in the primary election.
The lawsuit was filed by Kelvin Mohammed on behalf of the aggrieved delegates. This development is a significant twist in the Edo State governorship race, and its implications are being closely watched.”
