Penpushing further reports that Adebayo emphasized that the judgment demonstrates, in clear terms, the judiciary’s commitment to upholding the tenets and values of internal democracy and enriching party administration.
‘While savoring the significance of this landmark judgment, we wish to congratulate members of the State Working Committee as ably led by the state chairman, Alh Hon. Abayomi Tella and the entire party executives, across all level and all distinguished party leaders who have patiently waited for the judicial process to run its cause’.
‘We dare say that today’s victory is a huge win for all PDP members and supporters in Ogun State and beyond. Clearly, there is “no victor, there is no vanquished. The party, therefore, extends its sincere hands of fellowship to any aggrieved person’.
‘It is time to join hands together and strengthen our great party. Every sincere member must be reminded that the PDP has a duty to rescue the good people of the state from the unpardonable incompetence and begging irresponsibility of Mr. Dapo Abiodun and his All Progressives Congress, APC government, which, with reckless abandon, has successfully messed up the entire fortune of our dear state since inception’, Adebayo wrote.
Penpushing also reports that the spokesperson explained that in the spirit of oneness, the party wants to encourage the immediate past chairman, Dr. Sikirulahi Olawale Ogundele, his co travelers, and facilitators to wake up from their slumber and accept the reality.
‘There is no need for anymore to continue to chase shadows. It is time for him and others who are ready for genuine political rehabilitation to cooperate and align with the renewed vision of the PDP to dislodge the rudderless APC from power. Now is the time to return home as the umbrella is big enough to accommodate all legitimate interests’, Adebayo stated
