Godfather's son has been disqualify...
In a dramatic turn of events, court has disqualified Asue Ighodalo, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), from the upcoming Edo State elections. The decision comes after Ighodalo allegedly refused to comply with electoral guidelines, specifically Section 50 (36), which stipulates that all candidates must adhere to internal party democratic processes.
According to sources, Ighodalo's disqualification is linked to the controversial exclusion of 378 ad-hoc delegates who were duly elected and accredited by the party but were prevented from participating in the primaries. These delegates were reportedly excluded due to irregularities in the party's internal processes, a move that has been widely condemned by various stakeholders.
The decision to disqualify Ighodalo has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Edo State and has sparked mixed reactions from the public. Some have praised court for taking a strong stance against electoral misconduct, while others have questioned the timing and motives behind the decision.
As the political drama in Edo State continues to unfold, the people of the state anxiously await further developments and the eventual outcome of this high-stakes electoral battle.
