Ogun State PDP in another round of crisis over rerun primaries

• My suspension, a charade, says Lawal

The judgment also precluded the national body of the PDP from holding or organising the rerun primary, it rather ordered the state executive to handle it. He noted further that if the state executive should go ahead to organise the primaries as directed by the Federal High Court, the outcome of such exercise would be subjected to another litigation because some people would head to the court to say that the state executive does not have such constitutional power, in line with the party’s rule and the Electoral Act 2022, to organise primaries.

At the end of the governorship rerun, Lawal emerged the gubernatorial candidate with 456 votes. Announcing the results, the State Financial Secretary, Hon. Bola Odumosu, who led other members of the State Executive Committee to conduct the court-ordered rerun, said a total of 463 delegates were accredited to vote.

Odunmosun, who led a faction of the state executive that conducted the rerun primary, said the development paved the way for the state executive committee to comply with the court order while the judgment debtors pursue their appeals. The leadership of the party in the state also condemned the action of Lawal and members of his faction, insisting that PDP would not condone any action directed at putting the party into disrepute.

“We must also emphasis the fact that in a house where discipline is missing, definitely such a house will not raise good children and they are not going to raise a good ambassador for that family. “Clearly, this contemptuous act cannot stand the test of time and the law. All their contemptuous acts will be taken before the court and the full weight of the law will be visited on them in due course.
