In a Thursday ruling, the Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Ekwo, declared that the PDP nomination processes were non-compliant with its constitution.
As a result, the court has set aside all processes leading to the Edo PDP governorship primaries held on February 22nd, 2024.
However, in a swift reaction, the leadership of the PDP in Edo confidently asserted that the judgement did not affect their candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in any way.
