Newsonline reports that a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has nullified all the primaries conducted by All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state
This online media platform recall that some aggrieved APC members loyal to the Governorship Candidate of SDP, Senator Magnus Abe, had approached the Court challenging the conduct of the Primary election with claims of exclusion from the delegates’ primaries conducted in the State.
Senator Magnus Abe was a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, who defected to Social Democratic Party, in September 29, and emerged as the governorship candidate of the SDP in Rivers State for the 2023 elections.
Abe was elected during a primary conducted in Port Harcourt and supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission senior officer, Pastor Emmanuel Isong.
He served as a Senator for the Rivers South East Senatorial District of Rivers State, Nigeria.
He was first elected to the Nigerian Senate in 2011 in the April 2011 Federal elections and again in a rerun poll in December 2016.
In the 2015 general elections, he had lost a return bid to Senator Olaka Nwogu. Before the poll, like others in Rivers, was invalidated by the court, necessitating a rerun poll.
