A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has nullified the PDP primaries in Bayelsa State on grounds of illegality.
Timi Alaibe approached a federal High Court after the Bayelsa PDP primary in the state, which he claimed was manipulated and held through a flawed process, has approached the FHC Yenagoa with an application for the cancellation of the result of the election.
Timi Alaibe later wrote to the (then acting) CJ of the FHC, Justice John Tsoho requesting the trial be moved to Abuja citing security concerns in the state as a major reason to seek that transfer of the case. The CJ agreed and the case was transferred to Abuja.
The Abuja Court has handed down its order agreeing with Alaibe that the Bayelsa PDP was fraught with irregularities and illegality ordered the cancellation and nulification of the PDP primaries.
