But when he was asked that his name was mentioned as one of the aspirants who contested at the primary, he replied, “was I there? Did you see me there? I am not aware of any primary election in PDP because we are already in court. In fact, there are three suits already.

“We are in court because of the modus that led to the election of the delegates. It didn’t follow the procedure of the law. It was at variance with the constitution of the party and the law.

“They just allocated votes to themselves and in order to make it look justifiable, they allocated votes to me, too. There was no primary election because what they did is a court contempt. We leave them with the court.”
