A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has stopped Edo State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from proceeding with its governorship primary slated for Thursday, June 25.
One of the PDP governorship aspirants, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, filed the suit on Monday after vowing not to step down for Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Hon. Justice E.A Obile, who granted the order, allowed the defendant to serve the parties through substituted means in two national newspapers and adjourned the matter to June 24 for hearing of the summon.
