Sheriff declares edo pdp governorship primary illegal

It appears that there is a developing story in Nigeria, specifically in Edo State. According to reports, the Sheriff of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Ishaq Bello, has declared the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary election held on June 25, 2020, as illegal.

The primary election was conducted to select the PDP's candidate for the September 19, 2020, governorship election in Edo State. However, the outcome of the election has been disputed by some aspirants, leading to a court case.

In his ruling, Sheriff declared that the primary election was conducted in violation of the PDP's constitution and guidelines. He also ordered the PDP to conduct a fresh primary election within 14 days.
