One of the governorship aspirants, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama filed for the suit and has subsequently vowed not to step down for Obaseki.
He is praying Obaseki is prevented from contesting in the primary on several grounds.
According to him, the Edo State Governor just joined the party and that only those who purchased the forms during the stipulated window before the waiver granted Obaseki should be allowed to partake in the primaries.
Additionally, he also raised concerns over Obaseki’s certificates.
