The governorship candidate of the people’s Democratic party Oladipo Adebutu has claimed that only PDP has the structure and strategy to win elections in the state.
Mr Adebutu who spoke while kicking off his campaign and handing over of campaign materials to party leaders and members at Ikpero-Remo said he has what it takes to rescue Ogun from those who he accused of mismanaging the state’s resources.
He asked party members to go to the grassroots and canvass for votes as the clock ticks towards the general election.
“I am delighted that they are folly they are recognized today that the people’s Democratic Party is the only party in Ogun state with entire structure of more than 5 000 polling locations. We have feasible excos, therefore we can easily deploy over 30 000 conversers who will work like Jehovah Witnesses” Adebutu said.
It would be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta on 27th September, 2022 in two separate judgements nullified the Governorship primary and all the primaries conducted by PDP in Ogun State; the judgements then ordered fresh primaries that should cater for all interest groups and be conducted by the State Executive of the party against the provisions of the new Electoral act of 2022.
However, the National body of the party and Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu in disagreement with the decisions and orders of the trial court went ahead to the appellate court to appeal judgements on the grounds that the said Primaries were conducted in adherence to the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act.
The Appeal Court on 28th November, 2022 set aside the decisions of the trial court and ordered reinstatement of Hon. Adebutu and all other Candidates of the party.
