Court Verdict: Asue Ighodalo Remains PDP Candidate – Aziegbemi

…Urges Edo people to remain calm

By Simeon OSAJIE

The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the verdict of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja declaring the primary of the party that produced Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the candidate of the party is invalid.

Not quite long, a Federal High Court in Abuja said 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.

In a press statement signed by Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, State Chairman of the party stated that the party is aware that certain elements who are scared of the soaring popularity of our candidate Dr. Asue Ighodalo are going about peddling rumours that the candidature has been nullified.

While stating that it be on record that the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the flag bearer of the party for the 2024 elections remains intact and that the judgement of the Federal High court in Abuja did not in any way affect the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo, Dr. Aziegbemi urged Edo people to remain calm and resolute as there is no cause for alarm.
