Governor Godwin Obaseki’s second term journey may have hit another brick wall as a Federal high court has stopped the Governor from participating in the upcoming PDP primaries.
Justice of the Federal High Court E.A. Obile has banned the newest member of the PDP from participating in the party’s primary election slated for Thursday, June 25.
The case was filed by Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, an aspirant and lawmaker representing Oredo Federal Constituency, and was adjourned for motion on hearing to 24th June.
Obaseki wasn’t the only one restrained, also the party’s national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, PDP, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), chairman of the party screening committee, Kingsley Chinda, other members of the committee, were restrained from allowing any member of the party that have purchased forms to contest the PDP’s primary.
However the case was adjourned for motion on hearing by justice obile to 24th June, 2020.
The PDP had recently announced a waiver for Obaseki who joined the party from APC to participate in the primary election. Obaseki was screened by the party’s committee on Saturday, June 20.
