A Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti yesterday restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Peoples Democratic Party from recognising the Governor Ayodele Fayose’s faction of the State Executive Committee.

Justice T. O. Taiwo granted the order following a motion exparte filed and moved by Niran Owoseni, the counsel to Chief Williams Ajayi and Ilesanmi Obe, who sued for themselves and on behalf of other members of their faction.

The Defenadnts are INEC, PDP, its National Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff; Wale Oladipo (Secretary) and Gboyega Oguntuase.

On May 10, two parallel state executive committee had emerged in Ekiti State.

The faction loyal to the governor held its own congress at Adetiloye hall in the state-owned Fountain Hotel in the state capital, Ado Ekiti, where Gboyega Oguntuase emerged as the state chairman.

Another faction opposed to him held its state congress at the secretariat of Omo-Ilu Foundation in Ajilosun area of Ado Ekiti. The faction believed to be loyal to a leader of the party in the Southwest elected Ajayi as its chairman and Obe as the Secretary.

Justice Taiwo granted “an order of interim injunction restraining all the defendants from according recognition to Oguntuase and his agents and privies or any other person claiming to be an officer of the PDP in Ekiti at ward, local government or state levels except those” in the faction of the plaintiffs.

The court also restrained the PDP from dealing with any group except that of the plaintiffs in conducting the affairs of the party in the state.

The judge also restrained the INEC from recognising any step or action whatever taken by the Fayose’s men.

He further restrained Oguntuase and his faction from parading themselves as officers of the party pending hearing and determination of the substantive suit.

The judge granted an order directing the PDP, by its organs, officers, agents and servants to accept only delegates elected at the parallel congress of the plaintiffs for the purpose of convening the National Convention of the party.

He also granted an order to serve the originating summon and all other processes in the suit on the defendants by substituted means.

The implication of the judgement is that Fayose no longer controls the PDP structure in Ekiti state

Justice Taiwo granted “an order of interim injunction restraining all the defendants from according recognition to Oguntuase and his agents and privies or any other person claiming to be an officer of the PDP in Ekiti at ward, local government or state levels except those” in the faction of the plaintiffs.

Latest trick by APC is to use the courts to control PDP.
In the last week there have been like 5 court injunctions restraining PDP.

Internal power tussle is natural in politics. When the dust is settled,everyone will be reconciled.



There is no division, only power tussle

Implication is that PDP is dead in Ekiti. Fayose is PDP in Ekiti!

Time to tear the party apart..... Fayose Mimiko and other relevant stakeholders should float a new party.... PDP is dead!

When you people say PDP for life, I shake my head.
There might be no PDP or APC by next general elections,
Let's select Credible candidates first, and choose platforms later.

Fayose/Kasamu both are wash.

Neutrality in internal politics,

Kashamu is fighting hard to ensure his extradition problem goes away via Tinubu n co...and PDP disruption is he's own end of the deal.

Fayose single handedly (+maybe Mimiko) foisted Shekau on PDP, he is bigger than PDP, he just isn't bigger than Nigerian laws.

Fayose's boy will still be PS....

Fayose is Ekiti PDP, the others are interlopers....

Kashamu has a script he's paying inside PDP's rank, he comes across more as agent provocateur....

How did the Amala and moet runs go awry exactly?
