The Edo State division of the Court of Appeal has thrown out the list of aspirants for political offices aligned with Governor Godwin Obaseki in favour of candidates belonging to the Legacy PDP Group led by the National Vice Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih.

The judgment which was delivered on Friday automatically means only aspirants who emerged from the primary election conducted by Orbih’s group will stand for elective positions in the 2023 general elections.

The court also struck out an earlier suit which declared the Obaseki’s group candidates as the authentic candidates of the PDP because of the incomplete transmission of records that made the court not to have jurisdiction over the appeal.

The battle for control of the party apparatus in the state between Obaseki and Orbih took a different dimension when the two groups presented two different list of aspirants to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), following parallel primaries held by the two factions.

When the case first came up for hearing at the state high court, the Obaseki faction got a favorable judgment which removed the candidates of the Orbih faction which then headed for the Appeal Court in Benin.

In the judgement delivered by Tunde Oyebamiji Awotoye, the president of the court resolved four out of the six issues in favour of the Legacy Group candidates and declared that their appeal was meritorious and therefore allowed.

The latest decision seemingly confirms Orbih as being in control of the Edo State chapter of the PDP.

Op, you are being mischievous with the head line here

garfield1:
Like I said,atiku won't get 25% in edo.cc madridguy,buhariguy,okoroawusa

Neither will Tinubu.

Atiku might not get 25% of votes cast in any Southern state even Delta.

He’s not wrong.

Orbih is not hiding the fact that he’s Wike’s man.

So, it’s right to say that Obaseki lost to Orbih/Wike faction.

garfield1:


It will finish with the defeat of atiku.wike is now in control of 3 out of 6 pdp chapters in ss

The case won't stand.
The supreme court ruled on it

Aiel123:

The case won't stand.

No,the supreme court didnt.the supreme court declined to rule on it.that was about delegates,this is about candidates and factions

Penguin2:


Neither will Tinubu.

Atiku might not get 25% of votes cast in any Southern state even Delta.

Atiku will win delta and aks,do not be deceived.
The surest state for tinubu in ss is edo.even buhari wrestled gej in edo in 2015,almost won in 2019,ask yourself why.edo have always voted for Yoruba candidates,do not be deceived by flashy and superficial things.

garfield1:


No,the supreme court didnt.the supreme court declined to rule on it.that was about delegates,this is about candidates and factions

The SC ruled in Obaseki faction favor.
Isn't delegates that the SC affirmed as authentic that's supposed to vote in the primary?

Obaseki & Okezie Ikpeazu, Are PDP Most Useless & Worth less PDP Governors in History

Aiel123:

The SC ruled in Obaseki faction favor.
Isn't delegates that the SC affirmed as authentic that's supposed to vote in the primary?

No.high court ruled that orbih delegates are authentic.appeal court said courts dont have jurisdiction over such internal matters.supreme said the same thing meaning whatever nwc did stands...this one is a different matter

Penguin2:


He’s not wrong.

Orbih is not hiding the fact that he’s Wike’s man.

So, it’s right to say that Obaseki lost to Orbih/Wike faction.

So many newbies here.orbih is wike's staunchest ally in ss.wike singlehandedly made him ss pdp vice chair,gave him control of pdp in edo to checkmate obaseki.an orbih victory favours obi and tinubu.I heard hon ativie is threatening labour party chair and candidate for deceiving her

garfield1:



No.high court ruled that orbih delegates are authentic.appeal court said courts dont have jurisdiction over such internal matters.supreme said the same thing meaning whatever nwc did stands...this one is a different matter

Ok.
What's on ground now?

Are you certain about this news? The source get as e be oo

Ofunaofu:

Why don't you just say "Gov Obaseki faction loses in Apeal court to Orbih faction"

Why drag wike into Edo State PDP affair

Every follower of politics know that Orbih faction of Edo state belongs to the G-5 faction of PDP. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the headline.

This is good news. At least, the imbecilic Obaseki has lost out. Hopefully, he will be impeached after the election

Indispensable85:




Are you certain about this news? The source get as e be oo

The part two of the case is on punch and vanguard.orbih faction are crying that obaseki wants to change the judgment

What do you expect when the CJN publicly show his bias support for the useless G-5.
This new CJN is a dangerous bigot.
Iam calling for the sacking of the CJN.

garfield1:
Like I said,atiku won't get 25% in edo.cc madridguy,buhariguy,okoroawusa

even with obaseki faction, pdp can't get 25%

This is not true. @garfield1 @aiel123

The Appeal Court made a confusing judgement and as I speak to you, they are re-sitting on the matter.

The Orbih group filed out of time and they transmitted an incomplete records to the Appeal Court. The Supreme Court has ruled that the Court has no jurisdiction once there is an incomplete transmission of records:

Only three things can be done:
- Strike out the case for want of jurisdiction
- Take the case back to the lower Court and re-assign to another Judge to rule de novo.
- Rule on the case by waiver only if Counsels of both parties agree in writing.

The Judges set aside the lower Court Judgement then said incomplete records of appeal, the case is struck out.

So, they are re-sitting today to make definite pronouncements, one of the three above will happen.

Lies from the pit of hell walahi,no such judgement exist,if u doubt me just check inec portal... Obaseki is still on board.Wike can go to hell

Racoon:
Let them keep fighting. Labour Party have long taken over Edo state.

they can't win one local government in edo state

Atiku will not win any Southern state.

I’m telling you he might not get 25% in any Southern state and you are talking about winning Delta and AKS. Are you sure you have ear on ground at all?

Talking about Tinubu winning Edo because he’s Yoruba is like saying Atiku will win Southeast because he’s PDP. The problem I have with you is your over reliance on what happened in the past without taking cognizance of change in dynamics.

Or if you are relying on past results, can you say Tinubu will win Kano because Buhari won Kano in 2015 and 2019?
