There is confusion in Labour Party (LP) in Ondo State over who is the party’s candidate for the November 16 governorship election.
Two persons, Chief Sola Ebiseni and Olorunfemi Ojo are laying claim to being the party’s standard-bearer.
Olorunfemi emerged at the party’s primary election before the expiration of the electoral body’s deadline for conduct of primaries.
Ebiseni, who lost at the PDP’s primary, later emerged through substitution this month.
But Olorunfemi, whose name has been published on Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC’s) portal, has vowed never to step down for Ebiseni.

A suit was subsequently filed and judgment is expected to be delivered this weekend.
At the party’s secretariat in Akure, there was no campaign poster of either Ebiseni or Olorunfemi pasted, although only the campaign poster of Ebiseni is visible across the state.
Speaking in a phone chat, Olorunfemi promised never to step down for Ebiseni to emerge as the party’s candidate.
He accused the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) of fomenting trouble in the party.
