The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cancelled the conduct of the Governorship Primary election in Ogun state.
This was contained in a press released signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Olisah Metun on Monday afternoon after delegates have gathered for the primary election.
Metuh in the statement said said “for the avoidance of doubt, the NWC hereby states that it did not authorise any governorship primary in Ogun state.”
“Consequently, any such exercise held in Ogun state is hereby declared null and void and of no effect. A new date will be communicated for the primaries.
But despite the cancellation order, voting is said to have continued even though many of the stakeholders expected to be present for the election are absent.
As at the time of the press statement by the PDP NWC, former Governor Gbenga Daniel, who is a delegate was absent.
Also absent were some governorship aspirants such as Tony Ojesina, Yanju Lipedem Remilekun Bakare, Sarafa Ishola, Yomi Majekodunmi, David Bamgbose, Isiaq Akilade and Rafiu Ogunleye. Similarly, there was no member of the Electoral Committee from the party’s national secretariats to conduct the election.
