PDP aspirants threaten court action against President Jonathan and others

                                          
Some aggrieved aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Friday, threatened to file a legal action to nullify the candidature of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and all the candidates of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
The group, PDP Aspirants Forum, hinged the threat on the grounds that the party did not hold primary elections to nominate any of its candidates as all the standard-bearers were appointed by “god-fathers.”
The aspirants had earlier threatened to work against the interest of the party in the general elections if their grievances were not addressed.
The aspirants said they were highly disappointed by the manner in which the party’s primary elections were handled across the country.
The aspirants, who came together under the leadership of Chief Richard Lamai in Abuja, said all the resources they expended on campaigning and wooing of delegates at the primaries must be refunded to them before the commencement of the elections.
