Fresh Relief For Adebutu As Ogun PDP Faction Withdraws Suit Against Him
The Samson Bamgbose faction of the Ogun State PDP says it has opted to end its litigation against the party’s governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, and the state executive committee of the party.
The faction in a statement said the time was ripe for the state PDP to reunite ahead of the 2023 polls.
It explained that the decision to discontinue the litigation was arrived at a meeting of the Bamgbose led state PDP exco last Monday.
According to the faction, it resolved to recognize Adebutu as the party’s governorship candidate, and other candidates approved by the PDP National Working Committee.
The faction said there were multiple infractions in the state PDP and disagreement leading to filing of suits in several courts.

It however, noted that with the recent verdict of an appeal court in Ibadan, over the disputed primaries, it was not ready to pursue any litigation into 2023, no matter how desirable.
The faction last September 28, had obtained a judgement from a Federal High court, Abeokuta, cancelling all the primaries conducted by the Ogun State PDP, while ordering the party to conduct fresh primaries within 14 days.
The Publicity Secretary of the state PDP, Bankole Akinloye, confirmed that the faction had withdrawn all suits against Adebutu and the state executive committee.
Akinloye speaking in an interview with a Rockcity FM correspondent, Tobi Ojeleye said they had aligned with Adebutu, all other candidates and the exco to work for the PDP victory in the 2023 polls.
