The faction of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controlled by Senator Ali Sheriff has relocated its governorship primary to Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, following security reason.
The faction was to pick its candidate for the November 26 election in Akure, the state capital, today.
A statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Yemi Akintomide, said the primaries would now hold at the PDP Southwest zonal secretariat in Ibadan.
The statement said the Ahmed Gulak-led Committee constituted by Sheriff had taken over the conduct of the primary from the State Executive Committee, with its Chairman, Biyi Poroye, as member.
It urged aspirants and party delegates to move to Ibadan yesterday in preparation for the primary.
The statement said: “We are not aware of any court injunction stopping the primary, as all court pronouncements were in favour of the Senator Alimodu Sheriff-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP.”
Five aspirants, including Jimoh Ibrahim, Sola Ebiseni, Bamiduro Dada, Niran Sule-Akinsuyi and the only female, Mrs. Abiye, are contesting.
The Makarfi faction, where Governor Olusegun Mimiko belongs, conducted its primary election last Monday.
The former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Eyitayo Jegede, won the faction’s election, scoring 760 votes against his opponent, Saka Lawal, who got 22 votes. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Yes o. You are the authorized party chairman. Hope the other applicant pastor from Edo state has accepted this truth. Before he will cry last and loud.
DeleteIt is now crystal clear the man call Ali Modu Sheriff is all behind the crises that bedeviled the North East, even bastards at times succumb to the wish of the people. am neither PDP nor APC Cos i haven't seen any true political party in naija yet, but the like of Sheriff are not worthy of living in our dear country. Your are to rule people and not emotions, when the people say your time is over why not go. What benefit will you drive by bending to destroy the only strong opposition party. They have realised you are not one of them, why not leave them along. Even one year old baby knows that your are acting a written script by the ruling party. But everything that has a beginning most have an end. Meaningful Nigerian both at home and diaspora hate you with a passion. Idiot!! you even look like the animal called idiot. You will soon go six feet down if dont stop what you are doing.
