Obanikoro Sues PDP over Gov. Primaries


The dust over the conduct of the Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary held on Monday has not settled.
One of the aspirants in the Lagos PDP race and a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has taken the party to the Federal High Court.

Obanikoro, on Saturday, told journalists and party supporters at his Lagos campaign office that the primary was a sham.
He said that he would not allow the result to stand. He described it as injustice because he feels the process was not free and fair.

“The 48 hours timeline stipulated by the PDP Elec­toral Guideline to address our appeal has elapsed with­out a response from the party.

“In the light of this develop­ment, we have proceeded to the Federal High Court, Abu­ja, to seek redress over the outcome of last Monday’s PDP primaries.

“I urge all our teeming supporters to remain stead­fast. We will pursue this to a logical conclusion and jus­tice will be done,” he said.
