COURT RULES THAT ALL OGUN PDP PRIMARIES ARE INVALID

On Tuesday, there was ecstasy in parts of Ogun State, particularly around Ikenne, Ijebu-Ode, Shagamu, and the state capital, Abeokuta, after a Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognizing or accepting all candidates produced by Hon. Ladi Adebutu's faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.

Hon. During a sitting in Abeokuta on Tuesday, Justice 0.0 Oguntoyinbo ordered that the party immediately hold new governorship primaries to accommodate all interests/groups.

Anxiety and apprehension were heightened today as the Court issued its ruling in a suit filed by Prince Adesegun Seriki and three others against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Prince Seriki and his co-plaintiffs were seeking an explicit order from the Court to enforce their rights as the rightful and legitimate PDP candidates for the Ogun State general elections in 2023.
