I know that, reason I say it will be disastrous cos PDP in the state is already divided over the choice..
No problem then Omo Agege should carry go, but never that nonentity sheriff, it will never be well for Okowa, Useless Man.

The answer to your questions is Yes.

1. The Court nullified his Candidacy that he shouldn't have participated in the first place.

2. That he shouldn't carry himself as the PDP Guber Candidate for Delta State.

3. That INEC and PDP are restrained from accepting his Candidacy.

4. Yes, substitution window is not closed.

I am sure the full judgement will still become public.
You did not add where the court ordered that Edevbie be substituted with Sheriff, let’s wait for the ctc of the court’s judgment, I sincerely hope they don’t end up receiving the Lyons’s judgment of 2019 in Bayelsa State.

The copy of the judgment is still being awaited..but one thing is clear the federal high court disqualified sheriff,a reliable news outlet said there will be a fresh primary... uduaghan supported late obuh in 2014 primaries but uduaghan was not smart to play it's card well....on a good day can Ibori daughter match ben igbakpa who was sacrificed per say for Ethiope fed constituency for ibori daughter... edebvie has shown how desperate he's..
Shugavee:
thank you! These pdp ibori people trying to deceive the public of the politics that happened in pdp 2015. Edevie fighting against okowa knowing fully well it was time for delta north, and uduaghan solidly behind him. Okowa stood his ground and fought against it. Now ibori’s camp claim that if not for ibori he wouldnt have won !! NONSENSE! Like they are the ones giving power. Mtcheww.

Yeah read from a reliable news platform...the court NEVER declared edebvie winner..it ordered a fresh primaries... sheriff will appeal... edebvie is desperate to the core dude was commissioner of finance when ibori privatised state resources to a large extent... edebvie can't point to one thing he has done for his afisere community...
PDP has not yet submited the name of their governorship flag bearer to INEC,Edevbie sought the the court to restrain sheriff from parading himself as the PDP candidate,because he has no legal right to vie for that post and the court granted the plaintiff(edevbie) prayer.I think Edeubie will go,since he came second in the primaries.

Did the court grant all the prayers? If the court truly granted all the above prayers, then Edevbie is now the candidate pending the decision of the Supreme Court.
I yanked the monikers off it because I couldn't double-check that info. All I know is that except the PDP Constitution or Electoral Act is called into play, Edevbie will be the Candidiate.

That's what I was saying: That was not one of his prayers but during the Lyon debacle, the FHC also gave similar judgement.
The CTC will help us, all we are doing is conjecturing.

The party is still awaiting the copy of court judgement, reliable source said it ordered a fresh Primaries b4 deadline which is July 15;or 17... edebvie is desperate gosh!! If it's a new primary he won't smell it,if sheriff voluntary withdraws and name is substituted okowa will never submit edebvie name that I can assure even if ibori insist

If Sherriff appeals this judgement, PDP will not be able to meet up with the July 15 deadline set by INEC.

From the look of things, PDP will be out of the gubernatorial polls.

I have once told Nairalanders staying in Delta State to vote for Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, the clarion call is still very much on.

Vote Ovie Omo-Agege for a Better Delta State.

Even if the new primary is going to be conducted, can they really meet up before the deadline day of submission which is next Friday bearing in mind there's public holiday on Monday and Tuesday and they need to give INEC notice. I think it's over for PDP in Delta.
If PDP didn't put their house in order they would not be at poll next year.and this will be a direct ticked for Omo agege.

From 2015 it showed that the dude is desperate for power... every governor in Nigeria as a trend now anoints a successor,so okowa didn't err

That's what I have been saying.

Seunmsg Vicdom garfield1,
Going by Saleh v Abah, the Supreme Court has set a precedence.



Abah had forged his Certificate and won the House of Reps election, and Saleh challenged him. The SC though did not let Saleh take the House of Reps seat because he didn't pass through all the stages of the election but ruled that the second highest votes is the winner.

However, in this case, unless the Court ruled that the PDP did not follow the provisions of the Electoral Act or their own constitution, Edevbie is the Candidate.
You are right, boss.

It's not okowa that will submit the name but the party(PDP)If ibori and okowa did'nt iron out their differences,then,they will rock the pdp boat and they will all sink.

According to section 29(6) of what you attached, the sponsoring party stand disqualified from the contest. If the general election has been held before this judgement and PDP had won, the party that came second would be declared winner.

The aspirant that came second at the primary election cannot inherit the ticket since the winner and party have been jointly disqualified. Now I see why the judge simply disqualified Sheriff without granting any other consequential order in favour of the petitioner. Las las, Na Supreme Court go decide this matter.
You might be right, Appeal court would likely say status quo should remain pending the judgement. This may drag till election time which PDP would likely win. Appeal court or supreme court may uphold the High court judgement that he stays disqualified. Then APC candidate who would likely come second in the general election is declared winner based on the provisions of the law.
