The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will soon be tackling another court case following the decision of one of its aspirants in the party’s Anambra state governorship party primary, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, to drag the party to court over his perceived injustice at the poll.

The election which was conducted about three weeks ago has been described as a sham by Ubah, who said the primary election was manipulated in favour of Oseloka Obaze.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Ubah accused the leaders of the party of using fake delegates list to conduct the primary, adding that the certified copy of the list he got from Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was different from what was used at the primary.

He therefore, questioned the credibility of the primary and vowed to achieve justice in the court of law.

Kicking against the primary, the Chairman of Capital oil described it as a show of shame, adding that Oseloka Obaze, who was declared winner, was never given waiver by the party National Executive Committee (NEC).

Ubah, who said that he has exhausted all internal mechanism of the party, added that “I think it is the court that can address the situation now. We are going to court. And if the party comes back to address the situation that will be fine.

“In the quest for justice, I submit myself to fight this illegality and injustice for my sake as well as that of anyone who aspires to contest under the party’s platform and I hope that justice will prevail in the end.”

He said that the primary conducted on August 28th, 2017 “was all but a show of shame as it was marred by obvious irregularities, leaving little to be desired and more questions than answers from the relevant authorities and party officials.
He accused the party leadership of acts of tactical rigging in favour of Obaze at the party primary.

“At best, to any discerning mind, the primary election was a perfection of a preconceived orchestrated plot by His Excellency, the Governor of Rivers State and His Excellency, the former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi alongside selected cabal members of the several committees for this election set up by PDP to rob well-meaning Anambrarians off their earnest yearning for a candidate and eventual governor with a robust pedigree and a time-tested proof of love for the people.”

Ubah said that though the primary was duly monitored by INEC and other relevant agencies, but the list of delegates were hoarded, starving aspirants of the most important tool needed for the campaign to commence, adding that all the aspirants complained against this development except Obaze.
