*_Nasir Ayitogo_*

A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has refused to bar Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State Governor, from participating in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election slated for Thursday.

Mr Obaseki was granted waiver by the PDP recently after he joined the opposition party from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The suit was instituted by one of the governorship aspirants of the PDP, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who had vowed not to step down for Mr Obaseki.

A major reason stated by Mr Ogbeide-Ihama was that Mr Obaseki recently joined the party and only those who purchased the forms during the stipulated window should be allowed to participate in the primary election.

Just like Mr Obaseki’s former party, the APC, Mr Ogbeide-Ihama also questioned his educational credentials.

Mr Ogbeide-Ihama also prayed that the primaries be put on hold pending when the court would hear the motion on notice.

The judge, E. A Obile, however, did not grant that prayer. The judge asked that the motion seeking to bar Mr Obaseki be served on the defendants including Mr Obaseki via newspaper publication.

*_Several newspapers, including PREMIUM TIMES, earlier on Tuesday reported that Mr. Obaseki had been barred by the court from contesting the election. Those accounts of the court proceeding were inaccurate, PREMIUM TIMES later confirmed._*

Mr Obaseki joined the Peoples Democratic Party on Friday after he was disqualified by his former party, APC, from seeking re-election allegedly for submitting questionable certificates.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has granted the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Philip Shaibu, a waiver to contest for elective office on its platform.

here’s hardly any Nigerian who is oblivious of the current happenings in Edo’s political corridor. But flipping through the pages of The Guardian of Monday, June 15, 2020, anyone who has followed the issues from a distance will naturally query the rationale behind the All Progressives Congress (APC), National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole’s unshaken resolve to oust the incumbent governor and his former ally, Godwin Obaseki.

On the Property Page ‘19’ of the aforementioned national daily, with the headline ‘Economic Uncertainty Triggers Demand For Warehouse Space”, the writer in a bid to beautify the page as well as give pictorial illustration to his story, signposted the new look of Edo State under the leadership of the current governor with the caption, ‘an aerial view of Benin in Edo State’.

Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said he will not bother to appeal the screening result of the All Progressive Congress (APC) National working committee (NWC). This came after he was disqualified earlier today from participating in the governorship primaries of the APC slated for June 22.

Recalling earlier reports, Obaseki had maintained that he knew he won’t get justice after been screened on Tuesday 9th June 2020.

While responding after his disqualification on his official twitter page, Governor Obaseki urged supporters to be calm and  wait for further directives.

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has developed cold feet in executing the premeditated and illegal disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki from contesting in the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the run up to the governorship election in Edo State billed for September, 2020.

Sources had earlier revealed that the former governor had scheduled to announce the governor’s disqualification by 2pm, but he later backtracked and rescheduled the press conference for 2:30, with national television stations lined up to broadcast the announcement live.

However, understanding the unpopularity of the move, it was learnt that he is making last minute calls to seek solidarity for his tyrannical decision to disqualify the governor.

https://thestateofedonow.com/2020/06/12/obaseki-oshiomhole-develops-cold-feet-seeking-solidarity-before-announcing-illegal-disqualification/

The extreme display of lawlessness and dictatorship by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole would reach its peak by 2pm today when he would announce in a press conference the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki, from contesting the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Federal High Court in Benin City has sustained the order restraining the All Progressives Congress (APC), its National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and others from conducting any mode of primary election by the party in the state.

The presiding judge, Hon. Justice G. M. Umar, adjourned the matter till June 17, to rule on the matter filed by by Kenneth O. Asekomhe and Hon. Mathew Aigbuhuenze Iduoriyekemwen.
