The stage is now set for the battle royale between the ruling APC and the opposition PDP for the soul of Ogun State as the struggle for Oke-Mosan is now going to be incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun and Alhaji Gboyega Nasir Isiaka of the PDP.
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has submitted the name of Alhaji Gboyega Isiaka as its governorship candidate for the 2015 election in Ogun State to the Independent National Electoral Commission, reports the Punch.
Before the primary that produced Isiaka, the national leadership of the party, through its National Working Committee, had directed its Ogun State chapter not to hold the primary.
The directive, which was sent to the Ogun State chapter of the party by the NWC and signed by Metuh 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 primary.”
But the directive was ignored as the party, led by its Chairman Mobilising Committee in the South-West, led others to elect Isiaka.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, told our correspondent that stakeholders of the party said that they didn’t get the directive on time.
He said this was the reason they gave when they (the stakeholders) came to make presentations to the NWC members.
