Ogun 2019: Reuben Abati emerges PDP deputy governorship candidate in Ogun

Abeokuta, November 1, 2018 (AltAfrica)-Ahead of the 2019 elections, the Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, led by Buruji Kashamu, has named a former presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, as the running mate of the governorship candidate of the party in Ogun State, Leke Shittu.

A former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, was also named as the senatorial candidate for the Ogun East senatorial district.

This followed acceptance of the candidates’ list of the PDP faction backed by the Senator representing Ogun East, Kashamu, by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Former Special Adviser to then president, Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, named PDP deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State

The INEC had, in a letter addressed to the National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus, notified the party of the acceptance of the list submitted by Bayo Dayo’s faction following the Federal High Court judgements.

It directed the umpire to accept the candidates, as against that of Sikirullahi Ogundele-led faction which is recognised by the PDP national leadership.

A statement signed by Kashamu on Wednesday, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Abeokuta 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 INEC contravened the rule that only the chairman could submit candidates’ list to INEC.

The statement partly reads: “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.”
