Ifeanyi Odii has been declared by the Supreme Court to be the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate for Ebonyi State in the 2023 elections.
Now, Mr. Odii will represent the party in the 2023 governor’s race.
The Supreme Court also overturned the decision of the Court of Appeal in Abuja that had named Senator Obinna Ogba as the party’s candidate.
Senator Ogba did not have the right to appeal because he was not a party to the lawsuit when it was brought up at the trial court in Abakaliki, where Ogba’s candidacy was rejected, according to the lead judgment read by Justice Lawal Garba and written by a five-member panel led by Justice Amina Augie.
