A Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant for November 6 Anambra State election, Zeribe Ezeanuna, has sued the party for wrongful exclusion.

Also joined in the suit were the PDP National chairman, Chief Uche Secondus and the Independent National Electoral Commission for allegedly forcing him to pay N5m compliance fee as precondition for participating in the June 26, 2021 PDP primary. The suit which is pending at the Federal High Court Awka, also has the PDP National Organizing Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu , and the Anambra State chairman of the party, Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu, as defendants.

Ezeanuna is also claiming N50m from each of the four defendants as damages for infringing on his human rights and discrimination on the basis of gender. Lawyer for the plaintiff, Jezie Ekejiuba on behalf of his client asked the court to grant him an ex parte order, for interim injunction restraining them, their privies, servants, agents and those they represent from proceeding to conduct the PDP governorship primary scheduled for June 26, 2021 or any other date, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
