COURT DISMISSES SHUAIBU, OTHERS’ SUIT SEEKING IGHODALO’S SACK AS PDP CANDIDATE
Read Time:48 Second
A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the impeached Deputy Governor of Edo State, Phillip Shuaibu, and other parties in an attempt to nullify Asue Ighodalo’s nomination for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming Edo State governorship election.
In a ruling on Wednesday, Justice James Omotosho determined that the lawsuit, which contested Ighodalo’s disqualification due to an alleged voter card fraud, was statute barred.
According to Justice Omotosho, the lawsuit was brought outside of the 14-day window permitted by Section 285(9) of the Constitution because it was a pre-election case.

The judge also held that even though forgery or non possession of voter’s card was a disqualifying factor under Section 182 of the Constitution, the plaintiff failed to prove that Ighodalo forges his voter’s card as alleged by the plaintiffs.
