Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has declared invalid the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election that produced Asue Ighodalo as its governorship candidate.

The primary election conducted on February 22, 2024, was voided on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by PDP.

Justice Ekwo nullified the primary election while delivering judgment in a suit instituted by the aggrieved delegates.

The suit was instituted by one Kelvin Mohammed in a representative capacity.

Justice Ekwo held that both the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and the PDP Guidelines were violated in the conduct of the primary election at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.

Why do you think the judgement will not stand? Those that went to court are PDP members and statutory delegates. If they were not allowed to vote during the primary election, they have every right to go to court and seek redress.

Why wont it stand? This time around... They were PDP members who sued not some middlesome interlopers..

yeyenatu gbogbo. Supreme Court of justice has set aside federal high court negating into the affairs of party issues. Appeal Court of justice will set aside justice inyang federal high court of justice judgement here. In a month time, the judgement will be read on that case. Dr Asue Ighodalo still remains the Pdp governorship candidate in Edo State. Barrister fergie001, your input on this kangaroo judgement that will never hold any water

press9jatv:
APC is just using court judgement to distract pdp and its governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo. Politicians and their style of politics is not different at all. Another competent court of justice will set aside the kangaroo judgement here.

Until judges are punished for delivering wack judgement we would keep having this

What is the consequences of a judge delivering bad judgement they would would be reversed?

Nothing that's why it won't stop

There should be a law that if 10 of your judgement is reversed in 10 years u would be removed as a judge


We are all here when supreme Court stated that party internal affairs can't be influenced by the court

Justice Nyang Ekwo that is working for APC. Go and check his precedents delivering judgements that only favor APC.

I'm very convinced the revolution David Hundeyin is talking about will start from these judges head. Bandits already kidnapping some of them, it will go round.

Another court will upturn it
