Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission recognises Adebutu’s faction as Kashamu loses out in Ogun PDP
Candidates submitted by the Sikirulai Olawale Ogundele-led State Executive Council of the PDP were listed among those to contest in the election.
While the Kashamu faction belongs to the Senator Ali Modu Sheriff factional National Working Committee of the PDP, the Adebutu faction is loyal to the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee.
Meanwhile, Sikirulai Olawale Ogundele has reiterated the need for party members to be united in order to achieve victory at the polls.
Ogundele, who stated this in a press statement in his reaction to the publication of the list by OGSIEC, said the PDP has a lot of work to do to take over the governance of the state from the All Progressives Congress, which he alleged has mismanaged the local councils in the state over the years.
According to the state’s PDP chairman: “All members and leaders of the party across the length and breadth of the state should rise up now more than ever before, and move out enmasse to campaign for all the candidates of the party and ensure their resounding victory at the local government polls.”
Ogundele, in the statement, which was signed on his behalf by the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ogun State, Malik Olamilekan Ibitoye, added that the list finally put paid to the controversy surrounding the exercise and rested anxieties about the internal rancour among members of the party in the state.
He maintained that the people of Ogun State are already tired of the APC government, which he said is masquerading as “change agents” and have been clamouring for alternatives, while calling on all stakeholders in the party to join hands with him to steer the ship of the party to victory in future elections.
