Breaking: BURUJI LOSES OUT AS APPEAL COURT OVERRRULES LOWER COURT ORDER

The Appeal Court sitting in Ibadan today, Tuesday 18 December 2018 has overruled the lower court order on which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) acted to publish List of Candidates singularly submitted to the Commission by Sen Buruji Kashamu and Chief Bayo Dayo. The Appeal Court while passing its judgment asked the Commission to revert it's earlier decision as the High Court Order in Abeokuta was misleading and against the standing rule of Electoral Acts.

The Appeal Court went further to state categorically that: "Only list of candidates submitted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is valid, authentic and legal. Hence, compelled INEC to make official public announcement of list earlier submitted by PDP National Executives that no single person under law has the right to sponsor any candidate except on a party platform, which must be recognised by party leadership from above".

More so, the Appeal Court referred to the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja which last week reaffirmed that Senator Buruji Kasamu and Chief Bayo Dayo had since been expelled from the party. Therefore, the two persons under do not have right under law to contest on the platform of the party to which they are not members.

In regards to the above, list of candidates for Ogun State as submitted by the PDP NEC, duly signed by its National Chairman and Secretary should be honored and published as against that of Buruji which was published by INEC on the order of a lower court in Abeokuta.
