A high court in Ondo State has barred ousted People’s Democratic Party chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and his group from conducting another governorship primary election in the state.

The court, presided over by Justice Omolara Adejumo granted the restraining order on the subject at 9.10am Monday, August 29, 2016.

The court recognised the primary already conducted by the Clement Faboyede-led state congress which produced  Eyitayo Jegede as the PDP flagbearer in the upcoming elections in the state.

The state high court also ordered Jimoh Ibrahim, Chief Sola Ebiseeni, Bamiduro Dada, Niran Sule, and Abike from presenting themselves as aspirants in the proposed parallel primary.
