Obaseki: PDP reports Federal High Court judge to CJN, demands immediate sanction
has filed a petition against the judge, Justice Emmanuel Obile of the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court.
Omoregir Ogbeide-Ihama argued that since Obaseki was not part of the candidates screened by the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, initially before the date on the timetable lapsed, he should not be allowed to participate in the primaries. “Your Lordship may wish to take judicial notice of the fact following apparently intractable intra-party squabble in the All Progressives Congress , Governor Godwin Obaseki recently defected to the PDP to pursue his political ambition of re-election as the governor of Edo State for a second term of office.
“The headquarters of the PDP is in Abuja. The screening of candidates for the gubernatorial election which the Plaintiff is complaining of in the suit took place in Abuja.“The headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission is in Abuja. On the other hand, the primary election is to take place in Benin City; and the 8th Defendant sought to be restrained from contesting the primary election is also based in Benin City.
“But he went to Port Harcourt to file the suit when there is a Federal Hugh Court in Benin City. This should have made Hon. Justice E.A. Obile to be cautious.
