There was no conduct of primaries by APC in Imo State yet the Muhammadu Buhari's tribunal upheld the election of Okorocha. In fact, the report reaching us had indicated that Okorocha's son in-law was named not nominated as APC candidate Imo State. Nigeria is a joke and it seems worse everyday.

Note:

The APC based its petition on two grounds one of which is non conduct of primaries by the pdp.

There was no apc primaries in rivers state too

TARABA STATE

The three-member tribunal held that Mr. Ishaku was not validly nominated as candidate of the PDP and therefore did not qualify, from start, to contest the governorship election.
Specifically, the tribunal held that the governorship primaries purportedly conducted by the PDP in the state was done in violation of section 78 (b) (1)(2) of the Electoral Act which guides parties nomination to the position of governorship candidate.
It held that contrary to the provision of the section, PDP conducted the purported primaries at its national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja with no clear delegation from the local government areas in the state.
The tribunal sustained the testimonies of the head of election monitoring of Independent National Electoral Commission that the commission was not aware of any primaries conducted by the party in line with the provision of the electoral act which produced Ishaku as the party’s flagbearer".

RIVERS STATE


The spokesperson of the party in the state, Chukwuemeka Eze, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES.
“Yes Hon. Dakuku Peterside was unanimously endorsed in a peaceful atmosphere. It was done in a family affair and there was no bickering at all,” Mr. Eze said.
He also said by the decision of the caucus, the forthcoming party primary in Rivers State is expected to merely confirm the selection of Mr. Peterside as a formality.
Also, the Rivers APC Chairman, Davies Ikanya, who addressed the press after the meeting at the party’s secretariat in Port Harcourt, said the decision of the caucus is not final as primary election will still have to be held to ratify the decision.
“There must be primary elections for all positions in the APC. So, we will not jump the gun,” he said.

FYI information, Jonathan was also adopted by the Pdp before the convention.

Why didn't the tribunal hold in Taraba state?
This same tribunal is presently holding in Abuja because of........yes you guessed it...because of security challenges, same reason PDP primaries could not hold in Taraba.

No more democracy in Nigeria

PassingShot:
If this is correct, there won't be any basis for appeal as there is no miscarriage of justice as being peddled around. Going to Appeal Court will amount to waste of time and resources.

Sorry PDP and it's supporters aka the Abobakus.
