Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State, Mr Adekunle Akinlade, has described as a blessing in disguise, the omission of all Ogun PDP candidates on the list released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The electoral body had excluded the names of Chief Ladi Adebutu and his running mate, Akinlade on its list of candidates, following a court order nullifying all PDP primaries in the state.
Mr Akinlade in a statement said the determination and comradeship being displayed by members of the party across the state on the omission is a welcome development.
The 2019 gubernatorial candidate of the Allied People’s Movement, APM, noted that pre-election matters are dynamic under the present 2022 Electoral Act stating that Ogun state PDP candidates were not disqualified or substituted but were asked to redo the primaries.
The former lawmaker disclosed that the PDP at the national level has decided to appeal the ruling by filing Notices of Appeal and Stay of Execution.
