On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja declared Senator Obinna Ogba (a representative of Ebonyi Central Zone) as the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state come 2023.

It was gathered that the court ruled in favour of Senator Obinna Ogba on Tuesday.

The prominent PDP member who claimed anonymity confirmed the story from the court premises.

Another PDP big wig, Elder Fred Udeogu, also confirmed the story to our source, The PUNCH. He said the court ruling would help put an end to the crisis presently experienced in the party.

Udeogu said, “Yes, the Appeal has ruled in favour of Senator Obinna Ogba.

“We thank God for this development, which shows there is still hope for us in this country, with the judiciary. It’s a well-deserved judgment, and we give God the Glory.

In May, the party conducted its primaries between the 28th and 29th of the month. Chief Ifeanyi Odii was elected the party’s guber flagbearer, but the primary was cancelled afterward.

However, the primaries was rescheduled and held on June 4th and 5th, 2022, and Senator Ogba won it. The result did not go down well with Odii, who went to court to upturn the candidature of Ogba in a Federal High Court in Abakaliki. Odii’s move made Ogba approach the Court of Appeal.
