Imo gov: PDP, INEC to appear in court over Ihedioha, Ararume

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Peoples Democratic Party to appear before it on December 19 to explain why the name of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume should not be submitted as the governorship candidate of the party for the 2015 general elections.
Araraume had through his counsel, Damien Dodo, SAN, prayed the court to restrain the PDP from forwarding the name of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chukwuemeka Ihedioha to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as its governorship candidate for the 2015 governorship election for Imo State.

He urged the court to declare that he was the authentic candidate of the PDP for the impending poll.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed gave the order after listening to a motion ex-parte by Dodo yesterday.
Dodo told the court that his client duly obtained the expression of interest form and nomination form to contest for the Imo State governorship primary election of the PDP.
Though Justice Mohammed declined to grant the ex-parte application, he directed Ararume to go and put the defendants on notice to enable them to appear before him.
