The Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo State has called on its teeming members
and supporters to disregard the purported judgement being circulated by
Jimoh Ibrahim and his group.
In a statement issued on Friday, October
14, 2016 by the publicity secretary of the PDP in Ondo State, Mr. Banji
Okunomo, the party said that its governorship candidate can only emerge
through a due process in consonance with the constitution of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
The party believes that its governorship
candidate can never be produced through the back door or some
unconstitutional procedures.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has made it
clear that only the National Executive Committee, NEC, of a party could
nominate the governorship candidate.
This was done in the nomination of Mr
Eyitayo Jegede (SAN). As such, no High court can invalidate or alter
this position which is clearly defined by the highest ruling court in
Nigeria.
The PDP wishes to allay the fear of
party members as appropriate steps are already being taken in this
regard to quash obnoxious and baseless ruling.
Such judgement or ruling, if it ever
existed, is appealable with expedition and for want of legal
justification shall never stand.
More so, Mr Jimoh Ibrahim who took the case to court is not a registered member of the PDP.
Mr Jimoh Ibrahim is a verified non
member of the PDP at any level- ward, local government or state, having
openly defected to the Accord Party. His intention to destabilise the
party can never be effectual.
He would fail and is only working for
some fifth columnists outside the PDP. The intention of Jimoh Ibrahim
and his sponsors is to put Ondo State under subjugation.
The PDP calls on its members and
supporters to remain focused and steadfast. They should continue with
the Eyitayo’s campaign which will be actualised.
It is advisable that Jimoh Ibrahim
emulates business moguls like Mike Adenuga and Aliko Dangote who have
laboured to build their businesses and have today become a point of
reference. Jimoh Ibrahim, rather than cause mischief in the PDP, should
devise means of resuscitating his numerous failed businesses.
