Edo: Ighodalo’s candidature not affected by judgment, PDP says
The Peoples Democratic Party in Edo says the Federal High Court’s judgment on its primaries does not affect its governorship candidature in the coming election.
On Thursday, the party stated in Benin that Asue Ighodalo remained the PDP governorship candidate in Edo.
Tony Aziegbemi, PDP chairman, said Mr Ighodalo’s candidature for the 2024 election remained intact.
“The PDP is aware that certain elements who are scared of the soaring popularity of our candidate are going about peddling rumours that Ighodalo’s candidature has been nullified.
“Let it be on record that Ighodalo is the PDP flagbearer for the 2024 governorship election in Edo,” he said.
On Thursday, the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court voided the PDP primary election conducted on February 22.
The judgment was voided on the grounds that the 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primaries were unlawfully excluded by the PDP.
