Edo PDP: Mixed Reactions As Members Await Supreme Court Ruling
THE factions of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State have continued to lay claim to the authenticity of the candidates of their factions as the await the ruling of the Supreme Court on issues.
The party conducted parallel primary elections to pick candidates for all the elective positions in the state.
The Federal High Court in Abuja a few weeks ago gave a judgment in favour of the Orbih’s and this was celebrated by his members.
A respectable leader in the Obaseki camp told Vanguard yesterday that “The Appeal Court said, party matters, it is not the court that decides and you say the court did not decide anything as we are seeing in the social media so if you say the Appeal Court did not decide anything, why are you appealing to the Supreme Court.?”
A House of Representatives Candidate in Edo South in the faction of Orbih also told Vanguard that “We are the authentic candidates but they are tossing us up and down. They just went to the government house and wrote the names of candidates whereas we are the authentic candidates but we are at the Supreme Court and we know and we are hopeful we will get a favourable judgment.”
