Voting commenced at 4:24pm, with 677 accredited delegates casting their ballot papers, according to their respective local government areas.
Two aspirants – Johnson Agbonayima and Matthew Iduoriyekemwen – were cleared by the Sheriff group to contest the primary election.
But prior to voting, Agbonayima, who represents Egor and Ikpoba-Okha constituency in the Federal House of Representatives, announced his decision to step down for Iduoriyekemwen.
The lawmaker explained that he decision was in the interest of the party and the people of the state.
Meanwhile, a high court today in Abuja sacked Modu Sheriff as chair of the Peoples Democratic Party.
I will keep watch as this drama unfold.
ReplyDeleteSharif keep acting your APC script PDP is dead any way but another party will emerge.
ReplyDeleteSo it's no longer an election but a coronation in nullity. It's only in Nigeria can such absurd things can happen. I weep for my country Nigeria
ReplyDeleteWhat a hopeless and disgraceful situation. These individuals have no interest of the poor masses at heart. They are all useless, good for nothing. They learn nothing from coming to Europe, US and UK. What is Modu Sheriff gaining from being PDP Chairman? I am just confused with Nigeria politics in general.
