The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja presided over Justice A. M. Lamido, has reaffirmed the nomination of Asue Ighodalo as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State.
In a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Lamido in the suit marked CA/ABJ/CV/642/2024, the appellate court on Monday threw out an appeal brought by former deputy governor, Philip Shaibu . Recall that Shaibu had challenged the May 27th judgment of Justice James Omotosho of the Abuja Federal High Court, which declared Ighodalo as the rightful and duly nominated candidate of the PDP in Edo State.
The appellate court held that the trial court was right and unassailable in its ruling, determining that Shaibu did not meet the condition precedent before instituting the action, rendering the suit premature. The appellate court also affirmed the trial court’s decision that Shaibu failed to prove his allegations of vote allocation against the respondent, noting that conduct of the election and its results are presumed regular until proven otherwise.
