The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has given reasons the party disqualified Mr. Valentine Ozigbo from contesting the Senate seat in the 2023 National Assembly election.
In a report signed by the Chairman of the screening committee, Udeh Okoye, it was indicated that “he (Ozigbo) told the committee that he was awaiting the Supreme Court Judgment in SC/CV/240/2022 and SC/CV/241/2022.; that if Supreme Court annuls the election, he would become the governor.
“On that basis, he concluded that there would be no need to submit the senatorial form within the specified time. On April 27, 2022, the Supreme Court now upheld the contemplated litigation. Unfortunately, by the time he submitted the form, he was already out of time.’’
