A Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Chijioke Edeoga as the governorship candidate of the Labour Party for Enugu State.

Recall that Evarest Nnaji, popularly referred to as Odengene had approached the Abuja court to challenge the May primary election that produced Chijioke as the party’s candidate.

Justice Evelyn Maha who dismissed the primary election ordered the party to conduct a fresh primary election within 14 days.
