A Federal High Court in Edo State has restrained the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, from conducting any form of governorship primaries in the state.
Justice M. G. Umar gave the order on Monday, ruling that status quo should be maintained pending the determination of the suit filed by Kenneth Asekomhe and Matthew Iduoriyekemwen.
