PDP’s Gbenga Daniel Directs Supporters To Vote For APC’s Dapo Abiodun

Gbenga Daniel, a former Governor of Ogun State and Director
General of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organisation,
has directed the supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in Remo, Ogun State, to vote for Dapo Abiodun, governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State.

Daniel made this known in a statement he issued on Thursday.

The PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State is Buruji
Kashamu.

However, Kashamu’s candidature, which was affirmed by a court
ruling in January, did not sit well with the national leadership of
the party, which presented Ladi Adebutu as its preferred candidate
in the state. A court ruling on Wednesday then reaffirmed Kashamu’s
candidature.

Making reference to Wednesday’s ruling, Daniel said: “You would
have noticed my studied silence in our local politics in recent
times. I have busied myself with national politics, having served
the state for eight years.

“I have also been very busy supporting the ambition of the son
of our great philanthropist in Remoland to become the next Governor
of our dear state. You, however, would have become aware of the
court decision yesterday which did not favour him.

“Going forward, I have directed all our Structures statewide to
cast all their votes on Saturday for Prince Dapo Abiodun, another
bona fide Remo son despite current party differences. I therefore,
enjoin all to please go and cast your vote on Saturday for Dapo
Abiodun in the overall interest of our people.”

Appeal Court confirms Abba as Kano PDP Guber
candidate

The Appeal Court sitting in Kaduna presided by Justice Daniel O.
Kalio has today Thursday, 7th March 2019 confirmed Engr Abba Kabir
Yusuf as the bonafide Kano state PDP Gubernatorial candidate in the
coming Saturday 9th General Elections.

While delivering judgement, the appeal Court granted all the
prayers put forward by the appelant.

The PDP sought a stay of execution on the previous judgement
passed by a Federal High Court in Kano on the validity of the
party’s October 2nd primaries.

The appeal Court also restrained INEC from removing the name of
Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf and other  PDP candidates from the list
of 2019 contestants.

Responding shortly after the verdict, Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf said
he is not surprised with the outcomes from the appeal Court.

“As I always metion, the case mainly concerns our party and an
agrieved member who is working with the ruling All Progressive
Party (APC) in the state to remedy the fast growing unpopularity of
Gov Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.”

Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf also call on his supporters and PDP
faithful to keep their hope alive and come out enmass to vote for
all People’s Democratic Party’s candidates.
