Akure—THERE are indications that the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is set to review its decision to dissolve the Executive Council of the party in the South West Zone, headed by the former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Segun Oni.
Ondo State Chairman of the Party, Alabi, said this in Akure after the end of the meeting of the state chapter of the party.
According to him, the NWC was not properly briefed on the Oni’s led executive, noting that the issue of the South West Zone was on the front burner at the Abuja meeting.
Alabi claimed the PDP NWC had set up a five-man committee under the chairmanship of the Katsina State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Shema, to review the decision on the action of the party.
Speaking on the party’s petition at the election tribunal, Alabi said: “With the preponderance of the evidence before the Election Petition Tribunal on the October 2012 Gubernatorial Poll in the state, the PDP candidate, Chief Olusola Oke would come out victorious.
“Party had taken appropriate action by filing an appeal in the court on the ruling of the tribunal which removed the party from the list of petitioners based on the fact that the party’s petition was signed by its director of publicity.”
PDP candidate, Chief Olusola Oke, said the rejection of his application to tender the analysis of the voter register would not affect his petition negatively.
Oke alleged that the 2012 voters register contained more than 100,000 names that were not in the 2011 voters register.
He said INEC was to prove to the court how the 100,000 names got into the register despite the fact that there was no review of the voters register.
