2015: INEC Rejects Folarin As Oyo PDP Govcandidate# by Shegman22(m): 7:05am On Dec 22, 2014
The INEC has rejected the Oyo State PDP
governorship candidate, Senator Teslim
Folarin, in
the 2015 election.
The INEC had written to the National chairman
of
the party, Adamu Mu’azu to be guided by the
order of the court on the election.
In the letter addressed to the national
chairman of
the party, signed by the commission’s
secretary,
Augusta C. Ogakwu, INEC confirmed the
receipt
of the court order restraining it from accepting
the party’s candidates from Oyo State.
The letter said the Federal High Court, Abuja
had
restrained the commission from accepting,
recognising or treating as nominated,
candidates
of the PDP who did not emerge in accordance
with the order of the court, urging the party to
be
guided accordingly.
The party had gone ahead to conduct the
primary
elections in the state, using only statutory
delegates when the controversies trailing the
ad
hoc ward delegates congress held on two
different
occasions could not be resolved.
The decision to use the statutory delegates
was
also against a court order by E. S. Chukwu of
the
Federal High Court, Abuja, which directed that
a
specific list of delegates obtained at the
second
ad hoc ward delegates congress be used for
the
purpose of the primary elections.
With the use of only the statutory delegates of
about 200, over 1,000 ad hoc delegates from
the
351 wards in the 33 local government areas of
the
state at three delegates per ward were
disenfranchised. http://leadership.ng/news/396853/2015-inec-rejects-folarin-oyo-pdp-gov-candidate

They say the APC would self distruct after bla bla bla... Yet the PDP seems to be the only party at the throes of death at the moment.

Jonathan has succeeded is burning all bridges built by his predecessors and the river has already been crossed. Too bad.
