Ekiti PDP Faction Loyal To Olujimi Approaches Supreme Court As Crisis Deepens

By Wasiu Owolewa, Ado-Ekiti

Not satisfied with judgement delivered by the Appeal Court,  a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Senator Biodun Olujimi has approached  the Supreme Court to seek redress over the party's ward congress that was conducted last year.

Their appeal to seek for redress at the Supreme court follows a judgement delivered by the Appeal court in  Ado-Ekiti on January 27 in favour of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose.

Olujimi’s loyalists have  vowed to approach the Supreme Court to determine whether the conduct of the PDP ward congress in Ekiti by the National Working Committee (NWC) was in line with the PDP constitution.

Making the group's intention known,  the factional Publicity Secretary, Sanya Adesua  disclosed the plan in Ado Ekiti after an exhaustive deliberation on the judgement of the appellate court.

Olujimi’s faction had approached the appellate court after losing at a Federal High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, asking it to dismiss the conduct of the PDP ward congress in Ekiti by the NWC.

While delivering its judgement, the appellate court, however, upheld the decision of the trial court holding that the case was not justiciable on the ground that it was a matter that emanated from intra-party affairs. 

The meeting further agreed that all governorship aspirants are encouraged to go ahead with their consultation and mobilisation of the generality of Ekiti people, who are anxiously waiting for a PDP governor in 2022.

The meeting commended all the party members for their steadfastness and for hoping that justice would triumph over injustice, and truth over falsehood.
