2019: KASHAMU FACTION OF PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY OFFERS DANIEL SENATORIAL TICKET

He also added further that, the former spokesman of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reuben Abati is the party runningmate to Leke Shittu, who is the Governorship Candidate of the party.

Penpushing reports further, that Oniyokor explained that, this followed acceptance of the candidates’ list of the  Dayo Bayo Executive of the party by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC).

It is recalled that, the electoral commission had, in a letter addressed to the National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Uche Secondus, notified the party of the acceptance of the list submitted by Bayo Dayo’s faction following the Federal High Court judgments.

Penpushing reports that, a statement signed by Kashamu on Wednesday, a copy of which was made available to journalists  by his media aide, Austin Oniyokor, asked the public to disregard a statement credited to the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, that the electoral commission contravened the rule that only the chairman could submit candidates’ list to the commission.

“The candidates’ list of the Kashamu backed Bayo Dayo exco of Ogun PDP has been received and fully acknowledged by INEC for the 2019 elections. Prince Leke Shittu and Dr. Reuben Abati were duly acknowledged as the Ogun PDP Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates respectively (acknowledgement receipts attached).

“Former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, is for the Senate, Ogun East; and all other candidates for the Senatorial, Federal House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly were also accepted and duly acknowledged.

“Any rumour being peddled around by our National Chairman and National Publicity Secretary through a purported press release should be disregarded, as the duo are deliberately acting unlawfully and beyond their powers to which they’ve refused wise counsel to toe the path of rule of law.”
