The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday reacted to the nullification of the party’s governorship election, insisting that ASUE IGHODALO is its flagbearer.
Justice INYANG EKWO of the Federal High Court in Abuja voided the February 2024 election that produced IGHODALO on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by PDP.
But the party insisted that the Lagos-based lawyer remains its flagbearer ahead of the 21stSeptember governorship election in Edo State.
The party blamed what it described as certain elements that were spreading rumours about its candidate, claiming they were scared of IGHODALO’s popularity.
