The fears are coming upon claims of the determination of the incumbent governor to foist his choice of a successor irrespective of the complaints of the others.

The fears heightened on Wednesday May 18, after the Federal High Court, Abuja adjourned for further hearing and determination of a lawsuit brought before it by some aggrieved governorship aspirants and their supporters seeking an order of injunction restraining the 1st defendant (INEC) and 2nd defendant, PDP accepting, acting on, according recognition to, in any way or manner dealing with any purported list of elected Ad-how delegates from the Ad-hoc Congresses till May 25th, 2022.

The court decision in the consideration of the aggrieved meant that the primaries would have been held before the consideration of their suit.
