A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Abia state, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, better known as Don Lulu, has sued the party over its governorship primary election which returned Chief Okey Ahiwe as its candidate in the forthcoming March 11, 2023 election. Igbokwe filed the suit numbered ABJ/CS/138/2022 at the Federal High Court, Abuja. But it was transferred to the Federal High Court in Umuahia, presided over by Justice E. N. Anyadike. The suit is seeking the nullification of the second primary election and the candidacy of Ahiwe.
A Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, has ordered the Federal Government to pay the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
As Nigerians gear up for the 2023 General elections, it is becoming apparent that the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is on trial in the court of public opinion.
