Court Voids PDP Governorship Primary In Ekiti, Orders Fresh Poll.
A Federal High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship primary election conducted ahead of the 2026 governorship contest, directing the party to organise a fresh primary.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Nivo News, the court, presided over by Justice Babs Kuewumi, upheld allegations of irregularities raised by one of the aspirants, Prince Funso Ayeni, who challenged the conduct of the exercise. Ayeni had alleged that the approved delegate list was tampered with on the day of the primary, a situation he said undermined transparency, fairness and internal democracy within the party.
In his ruling, Justice Kuewumi held that the primary election was characterised by gross abuse of process and a clear violation of the PDP’s electoral guidelines. The judge stressed that the conduct of the exercise was inconsistent with the provisions of the party’s constitution and contrary to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which governs electoral processes.
The judgment represents a major setback for the PDP as it now faces the task of conducting another primary election in preparation for the June 20, 2026, governorship poll in Ekiti State.
Reacting to the ruling, the party’s South-West Zonal Publicity Secretary, Sanya Atofarati, said the PDP would explore all available legal options, including filing an appeal. He expressed confidence in the party’s legal team and insisted that the judgment would not derail its preparations for the forthcoming election.
Atofarati stated that the ruling marked only one stage of the judicial process, adding that the PDP’s campaign activities remained on course. He said the party had already inaugurated its campaign committee and commenced grassroots mobilisation across the 16 local government areas of the state in support of its candidate, Dr Wole Oluyede.
He dismissed claims that the court decision signified a collapse of the party’s campaign, maintaining that the primary election was free, fair and monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission. According to him, the legal challenge was part of a broader attempt to undermine the party and its flagbearer.
Atofarati further noted that while multiple aspirants initially challenged the primary in court, one of them later withdrew, leaving Ayeni as the sole petitioner. He reaffirmed the party’s resolve to remain focused on its campaign, insisting that Ekiti residents are determined to vote for change in 2026 and see the PDP as a credible alternative.

‘You Used APGA As A Visa!’ — Soludo Unleashes Fury Over Selfish Politicians Dumping The Party For Power
Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has criticized certain Igbo politicians for using the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as a stepping stone for political relevance only to later dismiss the party and defect elsewhere. Speaking on Saturday at the Ekwusigo Local Government Headquarters in Ozubulu after commissioning projects executed by the outgoing council chairman, Hon. Chinezie Obi, Soludo lamented that these politicians lack focus and wander from party to party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Soludo also addressed a recurring strategic flaw among Ndigbo, noting that they habitually put all their eggs in one basket and subsequently complain of marginalization at the federal level. He argued that instead of falling for deceptions that other parties will defeat the ruling structures, Igbo politicians should focus on connecting with the federal government by supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election under the APC.
Outlining APGA’s political stance for the 2027 elections, Soludo declared that the party—guided by its progressive mantra—will back the APC for the presidency while aggressively sweeping all national, state assembly, and local government seats in Anambra State.
