Edo: Court nullifies PDP Governorship Primary by fergie001(mod): 11:34am On Jul 04, 2024
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has declared invalid the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election that produced Asue Ighodalo as its governorship candidate.

The primary election conducted on February 22, 2024, was voided on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by PDP.

Justice Ekwo nullified the primary election while delivering judgment in a suit instituted by the aggrieved delegates.

The suit was instituted by one Kelvin Mohammed in a representative capacity.


Justice Ekwo held that both the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and the PDP Guidelines were violated in the conduct of the primary election at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.

Well, Tinubu did say he will deliver Edo to APC. I guess what was being waited for was the way and manner it would happen.

yeyenatu gbogbo. Supreme Court of justice has set aside federal high court negating into the affairs of party issues. Appeal Court of justice will set aside justice inyang federal high court of justice judgement here. In a month time, the judgement will be read on that case. Dr Asue Ighodalo still remains the Pdp governorship candidate in Edo State. Barrister fergie001, your input on this kangaroo judgement that will never hold any water

Stay of Execution loading....... Will definitely not stand.

We have seen it all before!

Why do you think the judgement will not stand? Those that went to court are PDP members and statutory delegates. If they were not allowed to vote during the primary election, they have every right to go to court and seek redress.

Why wont it stand? This time around... They were PDP members who sued not some middlesome interlopers.. grin grin
This case stands on all fours with George Orlu & 4 Ors v Cole & Ors: it was an APC tussle between Abe & Cole on delegates list.

No 1: This Ward Delegates whatever held on Feb 4 , the plaintiffs filed on Feb 8. They did not exhaust the internal party mechanism to settle the crisis.

No 2: This is a pre-primary election and the Court lacks the jurisdiction to adjudicate on the matter.

The Supreme Court has held this position many times, more recently in the Orbih faction case v Obaseki case in 2023.

No 3: These persons are not aspiramts so they did not participate in the election. Only aspirants can sue. The ward delegates election is a process leading to the Primaries hence only those who are contesting can sue.

The plaintiffs possess no legal rights to approach the courts on this matter. See George Udom v Umo Eno

No 4: On their own choosing, the plaintiffs refuse to participate in the Congress. If they were barred, was there any police report to show?
See SC in Onyebuchi Chukwu v Dave Umahi

APC is just using court judgement to distract pdp and its governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo. Politicians and their style of politics is not different at all. Another competent court of justice will set aside the kangaroo judgement here.
Re: Edo: Court nullifies PDP Governorship Primary by mrvitalis(m): 11:41am On Jul 04, 2024
Until judges are punished for delivering wack judgement we would keep having this

What is the consequences of a judge delivering bad judgement they would would be reversed?

Nothing that's why it won't stop

There should be a law that if 10 of your judgement is reversed in 10 years u would be removed as a judge


We are all here when supreme Court stated that party internal affairs can't be influenced by the court
Re: Edo: Court nullifies PDP Governorship Primary by whnowz: 11:41am On Jul 04, 2024
cheesy Justice Nyang Ekwo that is working for APC. Go and check his precedents delivering judgements that only favor APC.

I'm very convinced the revolution David Hundeyin is talking about will start from these judges head. Bandits already kidnapping some of them, it will go round.

Re: Edo: Court nullifies PDP Governorship Primary by richiemcgold: 11:42am On Jul 04, 2024
It's a distraction tactics to reduce the chances of PDP candidate. The appellate court may eventually rule in PDP's favour, but the ugly deed might have already been done by then. APC are very good at this. They used the same tactics in Ondo against PDP's Jegede.

Why will it not stand? A PDP member who's suppose to participate in the voting process was not allowed to do so and he went to court to challenge the process... I think he has a case

If the PDP do not follow the party constitution, he surely has a case
