A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed April 30 for judgment in two separate suits challenging the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s primaries that produced Asue Ighodalo as the party’s governorship candidate for the September 21 Edo poll.
Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date, after counsel for the parties adopted their processes and presented their arguments for and against the suits.
The first suit was filed by Adizetu Umoru, while the second suit was filed by Moses Alabi and Christopher Oboarer.
The plaintiffs in their separate ex-parte motions specifically sought an interim order of the court restraining the defendants from using the list of ward congresses held on February 4, for the purpose of conducting the PDP’s primaries in Edo State, slated for February 22 or any other date pending the hearing and determination of the main suit.
