**EXCLUSIVE: CTC of Appeal Court judgement reveals Philip Shaibu’s Case dismissed, Asue Ighodalo’s Candidacy Affirmed**

In a decisive ruling delivered on July 22, 2024, the Court of Appeal in Abuja reaffirmed Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the validly nominated governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the upcoming Edo State elections. In a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement dated 8th August 2024, the court dismissed the appeal filed by former Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, who had challenged the May 27th judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja, given by Justice Omotoso.

The appellate court, presided over by a panel including Justices A.M. Lamido, Tunde Awotoye, and Patricia Mahmoud, unanimously upheld the lower court’s decision, asserting that Shaibu’s case was both premature and without merit. The court agreed with the earlier judgment that Shaibu lacked the legal standing to challenge the PDP primaries since he did not participate in them.

The appellate court further confirmed that the delegate congresses were conducted in compliance with the law and the PDP's constitution, thus recognizing the delegates published by the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) as valid. The ruling also validated the primary election that produced Ighodalo as the party’s legitimate candidate.

Moreover the court in affirming the lower court's judgement, validated the authenticity of Ighodalo’s Permanent Voter Card (PVC). The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had confirmed the legitimacy of the PVC, and the Federal High Court had ruled that Shaibu failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove otherwise.

In addition to dismissing the case, the court imposed a fine of ₦1 million against Shaibu, payable to each of the four respondents, which include INEC, the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, and Dr. Asue Ighodalo. The ruling reinforces Ighodalo’s candidacy, solidifying his position as the PDP’s flag bearer in the forthcoming Edo State governorship election scheduled for September 21, 2024.

This judgment marks a significant victory for Ighodalo and the PDP, as the court has now twice validated his nomination process and dismissed all challenges raised against it.

Their biz...

A do or die affair

Good one.

Rubbish

Make Shaibu go sleep abeg

Bleep ya’all here mehn

Phillip shaibu should go and look for SDP PARTY OR NRC PARTY to join as their governor candidate.

APC are only being mischievous.
They presented an incompetent candidate because he gave them 200,000 dollars now their only hope is by spreading propaganda and telling cheap lies.
A judgement that was delivered in favour of Asue Ighodalo to the extent that Philip Shaibu was even asked to pay 1 million as fine yet APC went to type a different version of the court judgement and started circulating it

You should be the one to be k---led for your inability to read and comprehend an judgement judgement as this.

The court held that that Philip Shaibu haven not participated in the PDP primaries lacks the loco standi to challenge the outcome of the primaries. That's what the court calls Meddlesome Interloper (Busy body)
Secondly, Shaibu said Asue forged his voters card and INEC came to the court to testify that Asue posseses a genuine voters card.

So how can someone procure such judgement?

You are one of those APC miscreants who can't read or understand like your Governorship candidate Monday Okpebholo.

Asue Ighodalo for Edo State Governor

Shuibu rest desperate idiot

Your days are numbered, you worthless criminal

Just exercise a little bit more patience

Apc Shaibu how market?

Okay

Shaibu rest, its Esan turn

And Oshiomhole was busy, lying blatantly to the public a few days ago. That's how APC intends to steal the governorship of Edo State.

Is there any dispute with that?

APC thrives on spreading lies, falsehood and propaganda

This will be a return of disaster for Shaibu.It is crystal clear that conflicting rulings and judgments from the judiciary are indications of hijack of the judiciary by the political class.

Congratulations 🎉 to the incoming Governor, Dr Asue Ighodalo
