Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a suit seeking to prohibit Barrister Asue Ighodalo from being presented as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the forthcoming Edo State governorship election.
The Judge threw out the suit instituted by an aggrieved PDP governorship aspirant, Anselm Ojeizu, on the ground that the case was premature at the time it was filed on March 6. Delivering judgment in the suit on Wednesday, Justice Egwuatu held that the plaintiff, Anselm Ojeizu failed to explore the mandatory internal mechanism of PDP to ventilate his anger before rushing to Court .
Specifically, the aggrieved governorship aspirant alleged that a fake and adulterated delegates list was used in the conduct of the indirect primary election. But Justice Egwuatu held that since it is mandatory for any aggrieved governorship aspirant to explore internal dispute mechanism resolution before approaching a court of law, Ojeizu is bound to comply with the rule like any other aspirant.
