    PDP hails A’Court judgment on Adeleke’s candidacy

    The Peoples Democratic Party has hailed the Wednesday judgment by the Appeal Court in Akure, the Ondo State capital, that upheld Senator Ademola Adeleke as the rightful candidate for the Osun governorship election.

    In a statement on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP noted that the court judgment had put to rest all contestations regarding the validity of Adeleke’s candidacy.

    The PUNCH reports that a PDP chieftain, Dotun Babayemi, contested the party’s governorship primary at the High Court, challenging the validity of the primary conducted by the national leadership of the party, but lost in the court.

    Not satisfied with the judgment of the High Court, he proceeded to the appellate court to challenge the judgment but the appellate court on Wednesday also struck out his appeal.

    Hailing the judgment in a statement, the party said, “The PDP receives with delight, the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which affirmed the PDP governorship primary that produced the Osun State Governor-Elect, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, as the rightful candidate of the PDP for the July 16, 2022, Osun governorship poll.

    “The Appeal Court judgment, which puts to rest all contestations regarding the validity of the candidacy of Adeleke, comes as further validation of the will and aspiration of the people of Osun State, which they overwhelmingly expressed on July 16.

    “The judgment is a firm confirmation that the governorship primary was transparently conducted by the Senator Iyorchia Ayu-led National Working Committee, in strict compliance with the provisions of the PDP constitution and electoral guidelines as provided by the Electoral Act and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

    “Our party commends the judiciary for its courage adding that the judgment has further restored the confidence of Nigerians in our judicial system and the processes of the PDP.

    “The PDP again congratulates the people of Osun State and charges all party stakeholders in the state to remain united behind Sen. Ademola Adeleke in his determination to institute a transparent, people-oriented, and development-based government that will rebuild and revamp the state from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress.”

    The PUNCH reports that Adeleke won the governorship election with a total of 403,371 votes, beating the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC, who got 375,027 votes in a keenly contested race.
