OSUN PDP: Ogunbiyi Asks PDP To Declare Him Candidate, Files Petition Against Adeleke

Akin Ogunbiyi, one of the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary election in Osun, called on the party’s leadership to declare him winner.




Ogunbiyi told newsmen OSUN PDP: Ogunbiyi Asks PDP To Declare Him Candidate, Files Petition Against Adeleke in Abuja that he has been to the party’s National Secretariat
And has petitioned the PDP primary that produced Sen. Ademola Adeleke as the flag-bearer for the September 22 poll.






Ogunbiyi narrowly lost to Adeleke, polling 1,562 votes as against 1,569 votes by the latter.
He wrote

“I, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, having polled the highest number of votes in the primary election of July 21, be declared the validly nominated and elected PDP governorship candidate for the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Osun.”
He also called for the disqualification of Adeleke based on the faulted process of the primary.

“Contrary to Section 30, Sub-Section `E’ of the Electoral Guidelines for primary election 2018, the total number of delegates accredited was not announced before the commencement of voting.”
Ogunbiyi alleged that document submitted by Adeleke as evidence of his educational qualification up to school certificate level did not meet the basic qualification stipulated by the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act.
“The Principal of Muslim Grammar School, Ede, Mr Khalid Abbas, who purportedly signed the testimonial had not been posted to the school in question as at the date indicated on the document.
“The principal has denied ever issuing or signing it and the denial is very well on record.”

However, Adeleke has particularly urged Ogunbiyi to “come on board,”, and congratulated him for “his hard-fighting team and for running a good and impressive campaign’’.OSUN PDP: Ogunbiyi Asks PDP To Declare Him Candidate, Files Petition Against AdelekeFOLLOW fb.me/jaiyeorieblog m.me/jaiyeorieblog ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE....
