Court refuses to disqualify Ighodalo as PDP’s candidate in Edo

Justice Obiorah Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday declined to disqualify the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, from the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.

The judge dismissed the suit filed by an PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Anselm Ojeizu, for lack of merit.

Egwuatu held that the suit filed on March 6 was premature.
