In a significant ruling on Thursday, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Ekwo, declared that the PDP nomination processes were non-compliant with its own constitution. As a result, the court has set aside all processes leading to the Edo PDP governorship primaries held on February 22nd, 2024.
The court's decision means that the PDP has no candidate for the upcoming gubernatorial election on September 21st in Edo State. Consequently, Asue Ighodalo and the PDP will not be on the ballot for this critical election.
This ruling has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Edo State, dramatically altering the race for the governorship. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
