The Samson Bamgbose, cum Segun Seriki, faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State has resolved to work for the victory of Hon. Ladi Adebutu as the governorship candidate of the party in the 2023 election.
In Ogun State, the Samson Bamgbose, cum Segun Seriki, faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decided to work for Hon. Ladi Adebutu's election as the party's candidate for governor in the 2023 election.
This is only a week after the Ibadan-based Appeal Court upheld Adebutu and other PDP candidates' candidacies.
Adebutu and other party candidates for the elections in 2023 were confirmed by the appeals court after it overturned the ruling on November 28.
In a paragraph titled, ‘The Time For Purposeful Unification Of Ogun PDP Is Now’, Seriki said there were multiple infractions in the polity of the Ogun State PDP as credible justifications for disagreements culminating into recent litigations.”
However, he asserted that given the impending general election in February 2023 and the most recent decisions from the Appeal court, “any litigation into next year, no matter the desirable justifications, would put our teeming supporters undeservedly at avoidable disadvantages too enormous to be worthy of whatever logic adduced.”
He disclosed that an interactive meeting of party elders, exco members and candidates’ that emerged under the Samson Bamgbose-led state exco was held on December 5 “where the above position of unification for electoral victory was discussed and resolved to enable the emergence of the widely sort after change into a PDP government by the good people of Ogun state.”
He said: “Consequently, we hereby decide to discontinue all litigations in which my people and I are involved forthwith. We shall therefore recognise all PDP candidates as declared by NWC of our great party and work assiduously for their victory.
“Therefore, the constructive engagement with the Ogun state PDP gubernatorial candidate, Hon(Dr) Oladipupo Adebutu, which through some emissaries; he also had been desirous of, has thereafter been promptly initiated.
“Our decision is sincerely aimed at ensuring that PDP as a close-knitted political family that we are, should win this war to liberate the good people of Ogun state from current avoidable public administration adversity into enhanced socioeconomic emancipation and progressive governance.
“We seek not to be part of anything that would ever make Ogun PDP loose again, as it is in victory therein lies benefits for all and sundry.”
Reps hopeful Amuzu responds
Toyin Amuzu, a PDP candidate for the House of Representatives in the Abeokuta South Federal Constituency, has praised Segun Seriki and other Bamgbose group members for choosing peace and eschewing legal disputes or any other roadblocks that might jeopardize the PDP's chances of winning the 2023 elections in the State.
Amuzu asserted that the Bamgbose faction had made the appropriate choice in allowing peace to exist for the benefit of the populace. “it is now clear that Ogun PDP is one and ready to send the ruling party away having failed to impact positively on the lives of the people.”
He urged other party members to practice nonviolence and cooperate with the PDP rescue team, which is prepared to increase community development and improve people's quality of life.
