A Federal High court in Port Harcourt the Rivers state capital has sacked the Rivers state governorship candidate for Accord Party, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, on the grounds that he was not the authentic candidate for the party.
He was replaced with Mr. Precious Baridoo, who won the governorship ticket for the party, at the primary elections.
Mr. Baridoo sometimes ago approached the court to declare him the authentic candidate for the party, having won the primary elections as the party flag bearer in the forthcoming governorship polls.
