A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has struck out suit by the People’s Democratic Party challenging the eligibility of Accord, it’s Governorship Candidate and running mate to contest the 2023 general elections in Rivers State for lack of jurisdiction.
Presiding Judge, Justice STEPHEN DAYLOP-PAM in a separate suit also struck out PDP suit against all the national Assembly candidates of Accord for lack of jurisdiction.
Justice DAYLOP-PAM in his judgment did not bother to go into the merit of the matter but based his judgment on the recent decision of the appeal court in Lagos and Rivers State which revealed that no court has jurisdiction to hear a case file by another political party on a bothering on internal party affairs.
Speaking to newsmen outside the courtroom, BENJAMIN OMEJE and JOY NUNEE who represented Accord, the governorship candidate, it’s running mate and national Assembly candidates said the judgment is victory to Accord and democracy.
