The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has insisted that Ladi Adebutu remains its governorship candidate in the Ogun governorship election.

The party asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare Adebutu as its authentic candidate and delist Buruji Kashamu who had been named as the candidate.

Adebutu and Kashamu had been at loggerheads over the governorship ticket of the PDP in the state.

INEC recently recognised Kashamu’s camp to participate in the upcoming elections, after an FCT high court had struck out a suit against his candidature.

In a statement on Thursday, the PDP asked INEC to recognise the court of appeal ruling which nullified the earlier judgement that recognised Kashamu’s candidature.

“The PDP cautions the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to insulate the commission from unnecessary controversies by immediately obeying the judgment of the Court of Appeal of December 18, 2018, and without further delay reflect Hon. Ladi Adebutu’s name on the ballot, in the interest of a hitch free and peaceful election in Ogun state,” the statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan read.

“The PDP states that Hon. Ladi Adebutu’s name was duly and statutorily submitted to INEC after he won the governorship primary conducted by the National Working Committee (NWC), the only body empowered by law to conduct such primaries. The PDP has not substituted his nomination with anybody and such is not in our contemplation.

“The PDP charges the INEC Chairman to note that since the ruling of the Court of Appeal validating Hon. Ladi Adebutu as the PDP governorship candidate in Ogun state, no other court, not even the Supreme Court has over turned that extant ruling.

“INEC is therefore compelled to obey the law. It cannot choose for itself which judgment to obey and cannot operate in waiting, anticipation or contemplation of a non-existent consideration in the conduct of the Ogun governorship election.”

PDP unwittingly has an upper hand in Ogun election

The 2 factions are campaigning for the same party.

The 2 factions will fund their respective campaigns for the same slot.

The 2 factions will definitely win their strong areas for the party

PDP should hold on till after elections before enforcing the court order.

Confused looting party.

Confused looting party.

Imagine the nonsensical impunity from the dying pdp,arrogance and impudence.they think there still in power.this clearly shows that buhari is more law abiding and democratic than pdp.atiku will struggle for 25% here

Questions they should or we should all ask adebutu is this.
When you contested for rep, where did you obtain the form? The answer is not far fetched. Bayo Dayo led faction.
So now you think the faction that gave you the platform shouldn’t be recon with, thus you set up your own faction? Ok na.
Why did you plan to steal the party’s register when you said you own the party’s authentic structure. Do want to steal your own property?

inec o, adebutu o, kashamu o and pdp o. dey r all mad

Both Buruji and Adebutu none is better. I don't see any of them pulling much votes in Ogun for the gubernatorial election. They are both good as Senator/ HOR candidate.

Okay ooo

PDP WILL NOT GIVE ME TENSION.
PLS VOTE MOGHALU

Esu tapo si ... PDP .. Failure

Their party, their business.
All the best to Nigerians as they go to the poll.

Atiku will stil win Buhari

And now what name do we give to this shameful show of power tussle in the camp of all saints PDP.

If this is happening in APC no one will hear word.However,as wise as they claimed to be why shouldn't they put their house in order.

Or probably we're going to have two governors in Ogun state-one in Abeokuta and one in Ijebu Igbo.

Go and put Adebutu on the ballot paper na. Awon dindinrin

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Atiku will stil win Buhari
