Ogun PDP caretaker c’ttee won’t stand – Kashamu

- By Saawua Terzungwe

Senator Buruji Kashamu has said that the inaugurati­on of the Ogun State caretaker committee by Senator Ahmed Makarfi will not stand.

In a statement last night in Abuja, the lawmaker said the compositio­n of the committee in the state was onesided, citing legal issues.

“The mere fact that the national convention has the powers to dissolve itself or even the party does not give anyone the powers to brush aside valid and subsisting court judgment.

“Having emerged from validly organized congress which was ratified by the 71st National Executive Committee, the NCC is aware of the valid and subsisting judgment in favour of the Adebayo Dayo-led State Executive Committee of the PDP in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/636/2016, which is yet to be appealed, set aside or upturned.

“Yet it chose to continue on the path of impunity and lawlessnes­s. I do not see how these people can reposition the party. They want to compound its problems.

“The Ogun State PDP executive under the leadership of Adebayo Dayo has binding court judgment and orders legitimizi­ng it as the duly and validly elected State Executive until 2020.

“This clearly allows the Adebayo Dayo-led executive to remain in office and carry out all its due responsibi­lities and functions,” he said.
