The Supreme Court on Monday struck out the appeal of the PDP seeking to relist its appeal against the 24th June 2016 judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos, which affirmed the Adebayo Dayo-led State Exco of the PDP in Ogun State.
The Dayo-led Exco is backed by Senator Buruji Kashamu (PDP-Ogun East) who has been locked in a battle for the control of the state party structure and candidates’ list.
The Apex court judgment also mandated INEC to accept the list of candidates emerging from primaries conducted by the said Exco for the 2019 general elections in Ogun State.
When the matter came up on Monday, the Supreme court during the proceedings sought to know the nature of the appeal; whether it was a pre-election matter or not.
Responding, the appellant’s counsel (PDP), Emeka Etiaba stated that it was not a pre-election matter.
