The court held that evidence proved that Adebutu validly won the indirect primary election that was organised by the party and monitored by INEC, having polled a total of 714 votes holding that contrary to the plaintiff’s claim, the PDP, through its Ogun State Chairman, had before the primary election, tendered to the INEC, a 3-man ad-hoc delegates list that emerged from each Ward in the state.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the high court held that Lawal failed to establish his allegation that the primary election was not conducted in compliance with the 1999 Constitution, as amended, section 84, , and of the Electoral Act 2022, as well as Article 25 and of the PDP Constitution. Also, the court held that evidence before it showed that the plaintiff defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and joined the PDP in March 2022, and was subsequently allowed to contest the primary election.
The Justice said, “I find that the plaintiff is merely playing the role of a spoiler in the affairs of the 1st defendant ”.But due to failure to disclose a reasonable cause of action, the court dismissed three other appeals that were lodged before it by some aggrieved PDP ward delegates in Ogun State.
The panel led by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun held that the delegates, who claimed to have been disenfranchised in the primary election that produced Adebutu as flag-bearer of the PDP, could not initiate any court action against the outcome of the election since they were not aspirants.All rights reserved.
