The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the judgment of the Federal High Court recognising Hon. Ladi Adebutu as it’s candid ate for the governorship election in Ogun State.
The party urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to obey the court order by reinstate the name of Adebutu as the PDP governorship candidate for Ogun State.
Describing the judgment as a significant victory for democracy, justice and the rule of law, the PDP commended the Judiciary for demonstrating courage, independence and fidelity to constitutional principles.
Recall that the Court described the omission of the name of the 2nd Plaintiff, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, by the Defendant as unlawful, null and void. The Court further ordered the Defendant, INEC, to include the name of our Party’s candidate on the list of candidates for the 2027 governorship election within 24 hours.
The party called on INEC to give immediate effect to the judgment and comply fully with the order without any hesitation.
“This development is a significant boost to the PDP, not only in Ogun State but across the country. It has further strengthened the Party’s confidence and determination as we intensify preparations towards the 2027 general elections. No doubt, this is a welcome development that has energised our members, supporters and stakeholders, while reaffirming our collective resolve to offer Nigerians a credible alternative.
“We call on the good people of Ogun State to rally behind Hon. Ladi Adebutu and all other PDP candidates in the 2027 general elections in the state . Our desire and commitment is to build an Ogun state where economic opportunities are expanded, infrastructure is strengthened, education and healthcare receive the attention they deserve, and government genuinely serves the interests of the people.
“The PDP remains confident that, with the support and mandate of the good people of Ogun State, we shall deliver the leadership required to restore the state’s developmental aspirations and improve the living conditions of its citizens.
“The journey to reclaim Ogun State and restore purposeful governance is firmly on course,” said Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, spokesperson of the party.
