Lauretta Onochie, however, counted the supposed benefit of having the PDP quit contesting elections in Nigeria, by stating that the country would be free from gun-totting, vote-buying, and selling and ballot snatching, giving way to a more credible opposition party to come up.

“PDP’s threat to boycott the election means there is no more gun-totting, no more vote-buying, and selling, nb more ballot box-snatching, the people’s choices will be respected, more responsible opposition will emerge,” Lauretta Onochie said.

Removing the governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha seem to be an unbearable blow on the PDP, who had since the announcement of the verdict by the Supreme Court criticised President Buhari-led administration and the Supreme Court as well.
