Engr. Ibrahim Shehu approached the Federal High Court in Gusau through his counsel Ibrahim Ali Esq. asking for nullification of the fresh primary election on the ground that the party did not comply with the mandatory provisions of the section 82 of the electoral act 2022 as amended.

The court therefore prohibited the PDP from participating in the 2023 gubernatorial election.
