The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun state has issued out a warning to all its members that there is not going to be a rerun of primaries in the state.
The Ogun state chairman, Sikirulahi Ogundele made this statement available to pressmen on Friday in the state.
Ogundele recalled that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party had appealed a Federal High Court judgment that nullified all the primary elections of the PDP in Ogun, saying the NWC confirmed this in a statement issued on October 4 by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
He stated that NWC, having appealed the judgement, could not have organized any other primary election.
He added that any member of the party who engages in any form of disobedience as regards unapproved party re-run will be dealt with.
The statement reads: “The Ogun state chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hereby distance itself from any purported primary election for aspirants of the party.
“Recall that the National Working Committee (NWC) of our party had appealed the judgements that nullified the primary elections of the party which was contained in a press release by the NWC on 4th October, 2022 signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba.
“The NWC had appealed the judgements and could not have organised any purported primary election.
“I wish to state clearly that I have the mandate of our National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu that sanctions await any form of disobedience.
“Therefore, we urge all party faithful to remain calm and focused as we await the appeal court verdict.”
It was gathered that a faction of the party is planning to hold a parallel primary on Saturday.
