INEC reverses self on Ogun PDP exco

The crisis rocking Ogun State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have been resolved.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reversed itself and recognised Adebayo Dayo as the chairman.

Hitherto, the commission and the national leadership of the party recognised Sikirulai Ogundele as the chairman, a development which resulted in litigations, culminating in a judgment by the Federal High Court, Lagos.

Reacting to the commission’s decision, Dayo said: “There was no victor, no vanquished. This is not the time to score cheap political points or celebrate over anyone. The party has won; democracy has won and the rule of law has won. It is victory for our party leaders, elders and members. We all – aspirants, leaders and followers – need to come together and embrace peace and work in unity for the task ahead of us as a party. Let us forget the past and join hands to work for a glorious future.”
