The dust over the conduct of the Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary held on Monday has not settled.

One of the aspirants in the Lagos PDP race and a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has taken the party to the Federal High Court.

Obanikoro, on Saturday, told journalists and party supporters at his Lagos campaign office that the primary was a sham.

He said that he would not allow the result to stand. He described it as injustice because he feels the process was not free and fair.

“The 48 hours timeline stipulated by the PDP Elec­toral Guideline to address our appeal has elapsed with­out a response from the party.

“In the light of this develop­ment, we have proceeded to the Federal High Court, Abu­ja, to seek redress over the outcome of last Monday’s PDP primaries.

“I urge all our teeming supporters to remain stead­fast. We will pursue this to a logical conclusion and jus­tice will be done,” he said.

Obanikoro added, however, that his fight was not about his personal ambition alone but also for the sake of the people of Lagos State.

“I stand for a greater La­gos. Anything that will derail that greater Lagos, we will fight it. What we are saying is very clear. We are saying that in our party, power be­longs to the people. This fight is not about me. It is about the soul of our party,” Obanikoro stated.

effort in futility

Is that not anti-party? GEJ should summon him to Aso rock.

Anti-party for trying to get justice?
I dont know that taking people who accredited 806 delegates and returned 867 vote cast is anti-party. Bull.sh.it
