A Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki has nullified the rescheduled primary elections of the Ebonyi State governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which produced Senator Obinna Ogba.
The presiding Judge, Justice Fauten Riman in his ruling upheld that the gubernatorial primaries election of the PDP held on the 4th and 5th did not meet the new electoral law and the guidelines of the party and thereafter, declared it illegal and unlawful.
Senator Ogba, who represents Ebonyi Central senatorial zone in the National Assembly, was elected as the governorship candidate of the PDP in a primary election held on the 4th and 5th of June 2022.
Justice Riman in his judgement also upheld the primary election earlier conducted on May 29, 2022, which produced Dr Ifeanyi Odii as governorship candidate of the PDP.
