2023: Ogun PDP reunites after Appeal Court judgment, Amuzu reacts

The Samson Bamgbose, cum Segun Seriki, faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State has resolved to work for the victory of Hon. Ladi Adebutu as the governorship candidate of the party in the 2023 election.

This is coming barely a week after the Appeal Court sitting in Ibadan affirmed the candidacy of Adebutu and other candidates of the PDP.

Track News reports that Bamgbose, Seriki and others in their camp had on September 27 secured a judgment at the Abeokuta Federal High Court, nullifying the primary elections of the PDP in Ogun.

But, the appeal court, on November 28, set aside the judgment, thereby confirming Adebutu and others as the authentic candidates of the party for the 2023 elections.

In a statement titled, ‘The Time For Purposeful Unification Of Ogun PDP Is Now’, Seriki said there were multiple infractions in the polity of the Ogun State PDP as credible justifications for disagreements culminating into recent litigations.”

However, he posited that with the approaching February 2023 general election and after the recent Appeal court judgements, “any litigation into next year, no matter the desirable justifications, would put our teeming supporters undeservedly at avoidable disadvantages too enormous to be worthy of whatever logic adduced.
