A Bayelsa State High Court sitting in Yenagoa has granted an order of substituted service on the PDP in a suit brought before the court by a member of the party in Bayelsa State, David Fyne seeking to disqualify the PDP Presidential Candidate in the 2023 Presidential election ATIKU ABUBAKAR.

DAVID FYNE had gone to court claiming that the PDP violated its constitutional provisions on zoning by allowing some persons to contest for the party’s presidential ticket at its national convention held in May in Abuja for the 2023 general election.

He claimed that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, ought not to participate in the primaries of the party due to the party’s constitutional provisions on zoning.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Matilda Ayemieye in her ruling directed that the service be pasted on the premises of the PDP’s secretariat in Ekeki, Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, and the Wadata Plaza national secretariat of the party in Abuja.
