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.
