Edo PDP: Court Strikes Out Suit Seeking To Stop Obaseki From Participating In Primary

Justice Emmanuel Obile of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt has struck out an application by a Governorship aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihiama seeking to stop Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki from participating in the party primaries scheduled for Thursday.

Justice Obile struck out the suit after all the parties in the matter agreed to resolve their issues out of court.

Ogbeide-Ihiama had asked for an out-of-court settlement in the suit, prompting an adjournment till this afternoon.

Ogbeide-Ihiama made the application through his Lawyer, Ferdinand Ogbeh (SAN).

The PDP governorship aspirant had asked the court to restrain Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki from contesting the party primaries after vowing not to step down for him.

With the ruling, the cost is now clear for Obaseki’s participation in the primary election tomorrow.
