Supreme court affirms Buruji Kashamu- led faction of PDP

The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal seeking to suspend a Federal High Court decision which recognised the Buruji Kashamu-led faction of the PDP.

Secondus had approached the Appeal Court to request a nullification of the primaries where the said delegates elected Kashamu as the party’s flag bearer for the PDP in Ogun state

The request to make an order of stay of execution of the judgment of the Federal High Court in Lagos which recognised the Adebayo Dayo-led executive committee as the authentic leadership of the Ogun state chapter of the PDP was refused by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, December 5.

A five-man panel of the court led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour struck out the application seeking both an order for stay of execution of the Federal High Court’s judgment and another for accelerated hearing of the appeal after it was voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant, the Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee of the PDP.

The panel also awarded a fine of N100,000 against all parties in the matter and asked the Kashamu-led faction to bring copies of their arguments within seven days from Wednesday, December 5.
