I can wager that Justice Okon Abang is the one that gave ruling for sheriff to be recognized as the authentic PDP chairman.


All our parastatals are being bastardized.

I just hope INEC leadership will be bold enough to wield the big stick. If the party can't put their house in order and produce a legitimate candidate before the end of today, the party should be disqualified from contesting the election. Wailers can wail for all I care, the rules must not be compromised for any party.
See youth sense of reasoning.Buhari-your demigod never submitted his O'level certificate yet INEC played along with him to subvert the rule of law but heaven have not fallen even as he got to himself some deluded so-called SANs to defend this gross illegality.Your hypocrisy stinks man.

If PDP refuse to resolve their internal problem and present a candidate of compromise before the end of today, they should be disqualified. The rules will be applied whether you like it or not.

Karma is a bitch. If this impasse or struggle for leadership is not resolved, PDP may not field a candidate in Edo,and it will be the begining of another death for PDP after the 2015 election and of course death of opposition in the country, because as it stands now, Ondo may be tougher for PDP than Edo.
....Bros, forget this Pdp and its cohort can not win a local government in Ondo come nov.26#I swear Apc will sweep the whole state with landslide victory.....here I am to send mimiko packing from the alagbaka govt house with my Pvc.....mimiko is so heartless that he can even owe civil servants for good 6-7 months....haba!!! It is very bad.

I think I have to agree with you, Mimiko didn't do well at all, despite been an oil producing state, and with an IGR grater than that of Ekiti and Osun.

Where are those people that have NEVER been to Edo that circulate very old pictures of erosion and fake pix taken in Abia.

Let's see how PDP wins Edo. Tell your Pastor to stop wasting his money. PDP CANNOT smell the govt house in Edo. E go shock una.

Sheriff an APC agent ? What then can you say about Fayose and Wike that support him then even when the likes of FFK is against Sheriff , the issue is here like trouble go sleep yanga go wake am. Sheriff was on his own then, jejely some selfish interest went ahead to bring him, now Sheriff has become a pain to PDP whether you, Fayose, FFK, GEJ, Iyamu, George, Olalere e.t.c like it or not. Best advice , PDP should appeal , then to the Supreme Court.
Your common sense is not common! Who asked Fayose to invite Sheriff in the first place? The evil that men do stands up to them and fights them!

As the deadline for submission of candidates for the Edo State governorship election ends today, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) yesterday disclosed that it was yet to be provided with the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

INEC’s deputy director, Voter Education and Publicity, Nick Dazang, who disclosed this to LEADERSHIP, added that the commission was yet to take a decision on which of the candidates from the factions it would accept.

He further stated that, so far, only six political parties had submitted names of their candidates for the election.

However, deputy national chairman of the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the party, Cairo Ojuogboh, told LEADERSHIP that the faction had submitted the name of Matthew Iduoriyekemwen to INEC, adding that the ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja gave them the authority to do so.

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Iduoriyekemwen had emerged candidates from separate primaries conducted by the warring camps in the party. While Ize-Iyamu emerged the candidate from the primaries held by the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led national caretaker committee, Iduoriyekemwen emerged candidate of the Sheriff-led leadership of the party.

Also, while a July 4 Federal High Court judgement in Port Harcourt recognised Makarfi’s committee as the legitimate leadership of the party, a Federal High Court in Abuja, however, granted an ex parte motion to Sheriff, which mandated INEC to recognise only candidates submitted by Sheriff for the Edo and Ondo guber elections.

But responding to an inquiry from LEADERSHIP ahead of the deadline, Mr. Dazang, who was in Lagos yesterday, said the commission was yet to take a decision on which of the candidates to recognise.

He said: “As at 4:52pm, I sent an inquiry to our director in charge of political party monitoring and I was told that only six political parties have submitted their candidates, and PDP is not among them. But the deadline is tomorrow and they are free to do so.”

When asked which of the camps’ candidates the commission would accept, he said, “As at this time, INEC has not taken a decision. If there is any development I will call you back.”

On whether the name of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Godwin Obaseki, had been submitted, the deputy director said he could not confirm as he was yet to get the names of the six political parties that had submitted candidates.

He, however, promised to make the list available immediately it is given to him.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Sheriff’s primary did not meet the 21-day notice to INEC, a requirement specified in the Electoral Act, unlike the Makarfi-organised primary which was monitored by INEC.

Reacting, however, Ojuogboh told LEADERSHIP that the faction had completed the processes for the submission of its candidate’s name. He said it was understandable that the deputy director was not aware because the submission of candidates was not done in his department.

“In any case we have no fear that our candidate will be accepted as the legitimate candidate of PDP for the election. The court ruled that Sheriff is the only person that can submit candidates for the Edo and Ondo guber elections.

“That judgement was specific and no court of competent jurisdiction can overrule it. The court has recognised Sheriff as the national chairman; the truth is the truth and nobody can change it,” he said.

It was, however, gathered that members of the PDP national caretaker committee were locked in a meeting yesterday over the issue.

Attempts to get the Makarfi group for reaction were futile as phone calls to the spokesman of the committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, rang out and were not returned.

So INEC ddnt hear the last judgement in Abuja warning Sheriff & his exco to desist from parading thenselves or d PH judgement validating the decision of d PH convention to set up d caretaker committee. Or they are not aware that d court has ruled that d amendment of d PDP constitution that brought Sherriff to power has bn faulted. Moreover, they monitored d primaries of d Makarfi group.
