The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said it is confident that Eyitayo Jegede, its governorship candidate in the October 10 governorship election in Ondo state will get justice at the Supreme Court owing to the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had no candidate in the election.

Having lost at the tribunal and Appeal court, Jegede who lost the election to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu had approached the Supreme Court for redress.

Speaking with Daily Independent, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary said the party is confident that Jegede will get justice at the Supreme Court because Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State who is the National Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) lacks the constitutional powers to submit Akeredolu’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to him, by so doing, APC had no candidate in the governorship election.

“It is a known fact that Mai Mala Buni, the governor of Yobe state was not properly elected as the national chairman of APC. Therefore, he cannot nominate a candidate for INEC. They flouted their own constitution”.

“The existence of Mala Buni as national chairman flouts the rule and constitution of their own party. I believe that is the ground that our candidate, Eyitayo Jegede is pursuing to the Supreme Court, that ab initio, APC had no candidate because the process of nominating their candidate was faulty”.

“So, we are confident that based on this, our candidate, Eyitayo Jegede will get justice at the end of the day,” he said.

Hahahahaha

Wait oo, seh Pdp idleness don reach this? Abi what's their business with how Apc selected their chairman?

Another low from the PDP

Pdp dey fall hands oo.

Even Buhari bought his way out to be nominated as apc candidate

This smacks of desperate politicking. Assuming but not conceding to the argument of the appellants, was it raised before now? It is not in the genre of jurisdictional issues that can be raised at any time even before the Supreme Court. A Litigant is not allowed to nibble at his claims. Litigation must have an end. This, surely, is a pre-election matter actionable within a given time that has since lapsed? This would appear to be an ignoble submission calculated to ensure that JEGEDE remains visible in the eye of the electorate between now and the next Gubernatorial election in Ondo State to stand him in better stead to be elected Governor of Ondo State. Notwithstanding, the appeal appears to be a dishonourable course of action to take. Better to have a philanthropic reach-out to the electorate instead.

See wack opposition

M

PDP?

Wetin concern una?

It seems PDP no get work again but to even spy on who APC chairman Is...well,all of them na the same thing...they reason alike

Wetin concern Una with that one now ehn. Look for how to replace that your unpopular candidate in Anambra with Maduka else you will lose that election.

Okay

Southerners like to pull themselves down while fighting to retain power.

Since Bumi was placed there as national chairman, have you heard of his brothers struggling to pull him down at all cost?

Oshiomole was there from the south but his fellow brothers pulled him down because they lack foresight.

This is one of the reason why the president appoints people from his side into sensitive position; because he knows nobody will be fighting to pull the person down.

Oshiomole had the blessings of the president but still it wasn't seen as a good thing, and they struggled to drag him down.

I hope they enjoy the lack of a powerful force in Aso Rock from the south south

So in their thinking, the decision to nominate Akeredolu was solely made by Buni?
