A Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday, fixed April 30 for judgment in two separate suits challenging the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s primaries that produced Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the party’s governorship candidate for the September 21 Edo poll.
The plaintiffs had sued the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, PDP, Umar Damagun , Setonji Koshoedo, PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, and its National Executive Committee, NEC, as 1st to 6th defendants respectively. According to Ibrahim, the PDP trampled upon the judgment of the court delivered on January 9 when the acting national secretary of the party announced the information of the ward congresses.
It was the claims of the applicants that the action of the acting national secretary amounted to an illegality, and by extension, the product of the ward congresses held on February 4.
