A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has dismissed a suit seeking to disqualify the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Siminalaye Fubara, from contesting the 2023 elections.
An aspirant of the PDP, Chief Morgan West, had in a suit before the court, challenged Fubara’s candidacy.
The plaintiff had alleged that Fubara was not a member of the party and did not have a valid PDP membership card, among other issues.
However, in his judgment on Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Adamu T. Mohammed, struck out the suit for incompetence and lack of jurisdiction.
