All the aspirants for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
governorship primary in Edo State, including Omoregir Ogbeide-Ihama, have
agreed to settle out of court.
Recall that the Federal High court sitting in Port Harcourt,
the Rivers State capital, had on Tuesday restrained the Governor of Edo State,
Godwin Obaseki from participating in the PDP primary election.
Ogbeide-Ihiama had approached the court asking for the
Governor, who just joined the PDP from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to
be stopped from participating in the primaries.
Ogbeide-Ihiama argued that since Obaseki was not part of the
candidates screened by the PDP National Working Committee, NWC initially before
the date on the timetable lapsed, he should not be allowed to participate in
the primaries.
Lead Counsel to the Plaintiff, Ferdinand Orbir, according to
the report, at the resumed hearing of the matter this morning, told the court
that they have served all the parties to the suit as ordered by the court, the
originating summons and also published the order in two national newspapers.
He, however, told the court that the parties have opted for
out of court settlement.
All the counsel to the defendants told the court that they
have no objection to the application for out of court settlement.
