organised by some members of the state’s chapter of Peoples Democratic Party , led by Mr. Jimi Adebisi Lawal as illegal, unconstitutional and void.
The court declared that the purported gubernatorial rerun primary election of the PDP in Ogun State conducted on October 17, 2022, was not conducted in compliance with the orders made by the Federal High Court, Abeokuta Division in Suit No: FHC/AB/CS/83/2022 between Prince Adesegun Seriki and Ors v INEC and Ors and Suit No: FHC/AB/CS/87/2022 between Taiwo Olabode Idris and Ors v PDP and Ors both of which were delivered on September 27, 2022.
More so, Austin Oniyokor, the Spokesman to Lawal told The Guardian on the phone that his principal would react appropriately when he received a copy of the judgment.He also wondered why those who were never part of the rerun primaries went to court to challenge it. The Labour Party in the state had dragged ADC candidates to court over alleged non-compliance to the Electoral Act in the conduct of the party’s primaries.
The court ruled that Otegbeye and the Assembly candidates are not valid candidates of ADC for the 2023 governorship and State Assembly elections.
