An Osun High Court has affirmed PDP factional gubernatorial candidate, Dotun Babayemi as the authentic candidate for the forthcoming general elections in the state.
Recall that Senator Ademola Jackson Adeleke won the primary held at Osogbo Township Stadium, supervised by the PDP primary election committee, while Babayemi emerged from the parallel gubernatorial primary at WOCDIF Centre, Ring Road, Osogbo.
In its ruling, the court stated that the 215 Wards Executive Officers that participated in the parallel gubernatorial primary held at WOCDIF Centre were authentic and authorized Ward Executive Officers permitted to vote as delegates.
Justice Adeyinka Aderibigbe of the Osun High Court, granted an Order of Mandatory interim injunction stopping the defendants/respondents from recognizing any other guber primaries of the PDP IN the state.
The judgment, ordered INEC to recognize Babayemi as the authentic PDP gubernatorial candidates in the forthcoming election.
The court declared the parallel guber primary that produced Senator Ademola Adeleke as illegal and null and void
Justice Aderibigbe further ruled that the action taken by NWC of the party is in flagrant disobedience to its judgement on November 22, 2021, which recognized the Ward Executive Officers who produced delegates for the primaries.
