Late Abiola’s Wife Sues PDP Over Presidential Elections

    Professor Akasoba Duke-Abiola, a founding member of the
    Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and aspirant for the 2015 presidential election,
    has filed a suit before a Federal High Court in Abuja, the country’s capital,
    against the party for denying her an Expression of Interest Form after she paid
    the mandatory sum for acquisition of the form, Pm news reports.
    Abiola, wife of late businessman and acclaimed winner of the
    12 June, 1993 presidential election, Chief Moshood Olawale Abiola, said she was
    denied of the form by the party after paying N2 million and obtaining a receipt
    of payment from the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

    In the suit with number FHC/ABJ/CS/836/14, and in which she
    joined the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, she is seeking a
    perpetual injunction barring the PDP from holding the presidential primary
    election.

    She is also seeking the court to bar INEC from recognising
    President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s candidate with an argument that the
    party had failed to meet electoral requirements as stipulated in its own
    constitution as well as the country’s Electoral Act.
