Osun PDP: Babayemi To Reveal Next Line Of Action Soon

Consequent to the judgement of the Federal Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, Ondo State, Dotun Babayemi has asserted that the judgement was being evaluated with a view to knowing the next line of action to take.

Babayemi is seeking the validation of his candidature as the authentic gubernatorial candidate of the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded Osun gubernatorial election.

Babayemi had taken the PDP, INEC and Senator Ademola Adeleke to court on which candidate should be the PDP flagbearer in the Osun gubernatorial election.

In its ruling on Wednesday, the Appellate Court in Akure dismissed Babayemi’s case on technical grounds.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Babayemi maintained that unless some factors that necessitated the litigation were looked into by the party hierarchy, he might have to explore redress at the Supreme Court.

“We are evaluating all available options and shall act in the best interest of our people," he stated.

He stressed that taking this route was inevitable given the circumstances that surrounded the party’s affairs in Osun in the past years.

“Rest assured that for the common good of our party and the people of the state, we shall take a decision about the best way forward, including a possible appeal at the Supreme Court which is the highest court of the land," he said.
