A High Court of Justice in Ekpoma Judicial Division has restrained the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and others, from removing, preventing or purporting to exclude the Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki or any of other aspirant who has been cleared by the party from participating in the gubernatorial primary slated for 25th June 2020.

The Judge, J. O. Okeaya-Inneh, ruling in a suit filed by Felix Irioh and Tom Irehobhude, said, “ I find in my humble view that the applicants have satisfied the guidelines for the grant of the orders sought as enjoined in the celebrated landmark case of Kotoye v CBN (1989), 1 NWLR PT. 98, 419 at 441.”

The judge added, “The balance of convenience is in favour of the 1st and 2nd applicants and there is no undue delay in bringing this application. It is in that light that I find merit in this application.”

The defendants in the suit are Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, the PDP, Hon. Andy Ikhajiangbe, Peter Akhimien and INEC.

The applicants sought “an Order of Interim Injunction restraining INEC from however refusing to recognize and/or accept the name of any of the aspirants named in paragraph 2 above especially Mr Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki as lawful aspirants having been lawfully screened and cleared by the 2nd Defendant to participate in the 2nd primary election scheduled to hold on the 25th June 2020 in any report of the monitoring of the said primaries pending the hearing of the Motion On Notice.”

The judge adjourned the matter to July 1, 2020, for hearing of pending applications.

With the decision, Governor Obaseki has been given the legal green light to participate in the gubernatorial primary.

I trust that is not a court from a 3rd world Republic. Because it sounds more like a comedy than a fiction

Obaseki is less than a week in PDP and he’s already using court to decide how he wants the party to run. What if he didn’t win the primary?
I guess this is Obaseki’s response to the court case in PH tomorrow Incase it didn’t go his way.
A leopard can’t clear his spot.

Start preparing your handover notes Oga..

We don tire for una Tory.

Ugly and incompetent Obaseki is a gonner.

Obaseki will fly the PDP flag

Checkmate

But.....

How many cases on the same matter in one day. Before tomorrow morning there will be another injunction from a Sharia court in Zamfara State barring Ize Iyamu from greeting Obaseki.

Even Felix the guy behind BBQGRILLS on this platform is tired, too many darling daddies claiming to be his party chairmen

It's daily getting clearer to everyone, that Oshiomole was never at fault

ekpoma court na state high court na. It doesn't have jurisdiction over what's happening

Wow

This is a Court of co-ordinate jurisdiction with the FHC, PH.

I thought he should have gone up.

Court don suffer sef!

Was it a night court?

This one Na toilet paper court order.Obaseki should approach appeal court to set aside the order of FHC PH.

yes it is a court of coordinate jurisdiction.The order of FHC PH can only be vacated by appeal court.

Now I know this country is finished.

I read this article a few hours ago, and I nearly shed tears!!!

I see why this crazy stuffs happen in this country.

INEC will obey this order. Where there's a will, there must be a way. No retreat, no surrender. For the political actors, it's a fight to the finish.

This election will make or mar godfathers in Nigeria. Some persons will be demystified. I pray the Edo people make the right choice though.

Am even thinking whether it has jurisdiction.it reminds me of the osisioma court order ikpeazu procured in 2015 to prevent his removal

Have I started making comments on this section of nairaland in 2016?

Is it that you just want an argument or what?

I don't just understand. Was it not around that time you even registered on NL?
Tomorrow you will read someone say it and you will defend it.
Your matter is sometimes provoking.

I haven't Sir.....just waking up.

I stayed up throughout looking at the legality of Obaseki's exparte in Ekpoma which is wrong.

I will not be surprised.

Wike is the one directing all this, tbh.
He just needs his own share, that's all.

At the bolded I said same thing yesterday, but people said I was wrong.
WIKE is trying to make Obaseki dance to his tune Incase he wins the election. Wike want to have Edo under this arm for 2023 PDP presidential nomination.
Now Obaseki will know what is the true definition of God Father.

Not really. Wike wants money....PLENTY OF IT.
For him to regard some as tax collectors means money has been shared and it didn't get to him.

Wike is more passionate about his Rivers Politics than whether the PDP wins Presidency or not.
