A federal high court sitting in Abakaliki and presided by justice Funtan Riman on Tuesday squashed the People's Democratic Party, PDP rescheduled primaries held on the 4th and 5th of June respectively, which saw senator Obinna Joseph Ogba Emerged guber candidate of the party.



Justice Riman gave his judgment based on the fact that the rescheduled primaries was carried out while a substantive suit filed on 30th May 2022 challenging it's conduct was pending in court.



It would be recalled that the PDP National Working Committee, NWC had cancelled the 28th and 29th primary elections held in the State and was subsequently challenged in court by Dr Ifeanyi Odii Chukwuma, who won the guber primaries.



Counsel to the plaintiff, who is also the PDP legal adviser, Barrister Mudi Ehrenede, commended the court for upholding the earlier elections which saw Dr Ifeanyi Odii Chukwuma emerged as the party's Guber candidate in the State.


He argued based on the constitutional provisions of section 4.1 of the electoral act of 2022 as amended, that electoral processes must involve the presence of the independent electoral commission INEC, and described the latter primaries as illegal, for lacking the presence of INEC.


"Any primary elections that INEC did not monitored is useless, so, I can describe it as a gathering of committee of friends". Mudi said.

Party is supreme..... Appeal court will throw this judgement inside dustbin

Not that.... The NWC cancelled the Primaries a day before but the State Chairman, alongside only one of the Electoral Committee members went on to conduct the election.

Both had INEC Officials....

Even though Ifeanyi Chukwu Odi won't win, but I so much like the way he is frustrating that potbelly senator.
He is being served same breakfast he served Ebonyi Central.
