This follows judgments from both the Federal High Court, Enugu, and the Court of Appeal, also sitting in Enugu, which had, in their judgments, ruled that Comrade Idoko has no locus standi to initiate the cases against the PDP candidates.

“Pre-election cases are time-bound and all issues must be heard and determined once and for all at the Judgement stage. The trial Court breached the provisions of Section 285 of 1999,” Idoko’s counsels stated in the notice of appeal.
