The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has named Iduma Igariwe and Fred Udogwu as its nominees for Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State respectively.
It has been reported that the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, made this known at a media briefing on Tuesday evening.
Ayu disclosed that the opposition PDP has submitted the names of its nominees to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following the sack of Governor Dave Umahi and his deputy, and Eric Kelechi Igwe.
Recall that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, sacked Umahi and Igwe for dumping the PDP for the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Delivering judgement on Tuesday, Justice Inyang Ekwo ordered Umahi and his Deputy to immediately vacate their officer, asking INEC to replace them with a candidate from PDP.
