Today, the Federal High Court in Abuja, under the leadership of Justice Ekwo, delivered a groundbreaking verdict, ruling that the PDP’s procedures for nominating candidates in Edo State did not adhere to its own constitutional standards. Consequently, all activities leading up to the PDP’s governorship primaries on February 22nd, 2024, have been nullified.
This legal decision effectively means that the PDP will not field a candidate in the upcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for September 21st in Edo State. As a result, Asue Ighodalo and the PDP will not participate in this crucial electoral contest.
The ruling has sent shockwaves through Edo State’s political arena, fundamentally reshaping the dynamics of the governorship race. Stay tuned for further developments as the situation evolves.
