Supreme Court says Soludo is Anambra PDP candidate

Supreme Court says Soludo is Anambra PDP candidate The camp of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Chukwuma Soludo, erupted in excitement this afternoon after the Supreme Court vacated the order barring Mr. Soludo from parading himself as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the February 6, 2010 governorship election in Anambra State. The victory comes a day after the Federal Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, Wednesday, refused to lift its interim order that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should not recognise Mr. Soludo as the PDP candidate. Mr. Soludo was taken to court by some members of the party after the controversial decision of the National Executive Council of the party to choose the former CBN governor without any recourse to a primary election. A lower court in Abuja backs Mr. Soludo’s choice. Although, the Appeal Court is yet to rule on the substantive suit on his candidature, the Supreme Court’s decision means Mr. Soludo will fly the flag of the party in the February elections against other confirmed candidates such as the state governor, Peter Obi; former governor, Chris Ngige and Andy Uba.
