A Federal high court sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital has restrained the Bayo Dayo led faction of the Ogun state People’s Democratic Party from going ahead with its planned congress scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 7th, 2020.
OgunToday reports that Kashamu’s group and the other faction led by former House of Representatives member, Ladi Adebutu had been enmeshed in fierce battle for the control of the party structure.
While the Adebutu’s faction had insisted on the NWC’s position on Ogun PDP Congresses, the Bayo Days led faction said they would go ahead to conduct Congresses at all levels in the state.
Speaking to newsmen, Counsel to the defence counsel Barr. Olumuyiwa Obanewa said a Federal High Court in Abuja last week Tuesday had directed all parties not to hold any congress in Ogun State.
But in a swift reaction, the Bayo Dayo led faction on Friday approached the court to file an application ex parte to allow the court grant his faction the go ahead to conduct congress across the state.
Challenging the new application, Barr. Obanewa said the new suit is an abuse of court process as the judge refused counsel loyal to Bayo Dayo to go ahead with the congress.
The Judge however adjourned to the 18th of March, 2020.
