Just when we\u2019re about to start the ward congresses to elect the delegates for the primary election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf not properly handled, the legal battle this judgement might cause will destroy our chances at the election proper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, a chieftain of the party in the state, Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia said there\u2019s no cause for alarm as the judgment changes nothing with respect to conduct of the primary election in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Onyia said the constitution of the PDP as amended is clear on the conduct of the primaries and a change of baton in the state will have zero effect in the primary election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no cause for alarm, the PDP is on course to win the forthcoming election and will go on with the process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Constitution of the party handed over the process of nomination of guber candidate to the National Workig Committee after the 2012 amendment of the constitution,\u201d Emeka said.<\/p>\n<p>It was gathered that the judgement of the court might be an exercise in futility as a court of concurrent jurisdiction has given a different judgment from that of the Abuja High Court today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries in Anambra state for the Nov. 16\u00a0 guber election, a high court in Abuja has sacked, state chairman of the party, Chief&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
