The Ogun State Independent electoral commission (OGSIEC) has rejected the Councillorship and Chairmanship candidates list of Engr. Bayo Dayo faction of People Democratic Party (PDP) in the October 8 Local government areas (LGAs) and Local Council development areas (LCDAs) elections in Ogun State.
The commission announced this today at the News Conference organized in Abeokuta to update the public on the coming election. According to the Chairman of the Screening committee of the OGSIEC, Barr. Mutiu Agboke, he said the commission relied on the interlocutory order of Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta on the issue which ordered OGSIEC, INEC and Police to recognize Hon. Sikirullah Ogundele led executives. The commission then said the list of candidates from Hon. Sikirullah Ogundele faction will be accepted and recognized.
The Chairman, Caretaker
Committee of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi had once urged the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) and Ogun State Independent
Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) to recognise Hon. Sikirulai Ogundele faction as the authentic party executives in Ogun State.
Senator Makarfi said both INEC and
OGSIEC should accord Ogundele the necessary co-operation ahead of the October 8 local government
elections in the state, saying that
the court order obtained from
Justice Mobolaji Ojo-led State High Court confirmed the authenticity of
Ogundele-led PDP Executive in the state
