Fatshimetrie recently made a statement through its President, Tony Aziegbemi, on Thursday, July 4, 2024. According to the statement, the federal court had earlier annulled the primary election that led to the nomination of Ighodalo as governor candidate of the PDP for the government elections of September 21.
The decision to annul Ighodalo’s election was based on the fact that 381 party members, who should have participated in the primary election, were illegally excluded by the PDP.
According to evidence presented by the PDP, the judge said he found that the voting results were manipulated by those responsible for the counting, adding that the exclusion of the 381 delegates contravened the provisions of the law.
However, the PDP in its statement claimed that Ighodalo’s candidacy remained intact as the judgment did not in any way affect his position.
In its statement, the party noted: “The PDP is aware that some individuals, frightened by the growing popularity of our candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, are spreading rumors that his candidacy has been canceled. It is important to state that “The candidacy of Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the party’s standard bearer for the 2024 elections remains intact and that the judgment of the Federal Court in Abuja has in no way affected Ighodalo’s candidacy.”
In this turbulent political context, it is essential to stay informed of developments and twists and turns. Fatshimetrie will continue to closely monitor this case and provide its readers with the latest updates. Stay tuned so you don’t miss any important information.
