The court of appeal sitting in
Ibadan, Oyo state, has declared Ladi Adebutu the governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun state.
The judgement was delivered on
Tuesday by a three-man appeal panel.
Adebutu and Buruji Kashamu, a
serving senator, have both been laying claim to the ticket of the party.
Ruling on a suit filed by Adebutu
faction, the court upturned the judgement of an Abeokuta high court which
favoured Kashamu.
The panel headed by A. B. Bada,
resolved the four issues raised for determination in the appeal in favour of
the PDP, saying the appellants were not properly served in the case at the
lower court.
Uche Secondus, national chairman
of the PDP, had handed over the party’s governorship ticket to Adebutu but the
Kashamu faction also unveiled the senator as their candidate.
