President-general of Ogoni Youth Federation (OYF), Legborsi Yamaabana, has declared that he decided not to challenge the judgement of the Court of Appeal,
“The reason is that, based on the current Electoral Act, if I proceed to Supreme Court, even where my opponent loses, I will not be allowed to contest the polls because I did not participate in the primary elections.“And that can deny the PDP the opportunity of presenting a candidate for Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency in the 2023 general elections. As a committed and loyal party man, I am making this sacrifice in the interest of our great party, the PDP.
Even the beneficiary of my political benevolence on this issue – Rt. Hon. Dum Dekor, for the sake of the PDP, I will cast my vote for him, and I urge all my supporters to toe the same path. The PDP chieftain used the opportunity to call on his supporters in the Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency, to vote massively for the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Siminalaye Fubara.
