The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, has nullified all the primaries conducted by the main opposition party in the state, the federal-ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

The verdict given on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 was as a result of a suit lodged by some aggrieved APC members loyal to Senator Magnus Abe, erstwhile Rivers APC factional leader who later defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and picked its governorship ticket for the 2023 election.

The aggrieved APC members had approached the court to challenge the conduct of the party’s primary following their alleged exclusion from functioning as delegates during the exercise.

The judgement is a huge setback for the party, as it faces the prospect of not participating in the 2023 election – just as happened during the 2019 polls.
