PDP Crisis: Atiku, Ayu Celebrate Wike, Makinde, Others Peace Overtures

Though Governor Nyesom Wike had denied instituting a suit aginst the presidential candidacy of Atiku Abubakar, a Federal High Court in Abuja will on Wednesday (today) hear the suit said to have been instituted by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, seeking the disqualification of Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the 2023 presidential election.

Wike is said to have sued Atiku; the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and the PDP over the conduct of the presidential primary of the party that was held in Abuja on May 28 and May 29, 2022.

 

In the originating summons, Wike and his co-applicant asked the court to determine eight issues, including whether the purported transfer of Tambuwal’s votes to Atiku by the PDP was illegal and void.

 

The plaintiffs asked the court to determine if Tambuwal lost his claim to votes the moment he stepped down for Atiku.

 

He asked the court to determine whether Tambuwal “having stepped down during the primaries ought to lose his votes.”

 

Wike and Ekamon are asking the court to grant nine reliefs, including a declaration that the purported transfer of Tambuwal’s votes to Atiku be declared null and void.
