The plaintiffs, through their suit marked ‎FHC/ABJ/CS/185/2016, contended that the tenure of Executives of the party in the state had since elapsed. They prayed the court to hold that the continued stay of the Ogun State PDP Excos in office, is illegal and amounts to a gross violation of the Constitution of the party. Aside PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, other defendants in the suit are Chief Adebayo Dayo and Alhaji Semiu Sodipo, who were sued for themselves and on behalf of Ogun State working Committee of the PDP. The litigants maintained that the tenure of the executives having expired, it was wrong for both the national leadership of the party and INEC to still accord them recognition. ‎Consequently, the plaintiffs, through their lawyer, Mr. Ehi Uwuaifoh, prayed the court to determine whether by virtue of Section 47 (1) Chapter 6 of the constitution of the PDP, the tenure of the Chief Adebayo Dayo-led State Working Committee and State Executive Committee of the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP which was elected and inaugurated on February 28, 2012, has not expired by effluxion of time. As well as, “Whether the continued stay in office by the State Working Committee and State Executive Committee is not illegal, null and void, being contrary to Chapter 6, Section 47 (1) of the Constitution of the PDP. “Whether the Dayo-led PDP Ogun State chapter, State Working Committee and State Executive Committee can continue to run and manage the affairs of the PDP, Ogun State Chapter in violation of Chapter 6, section 47 (1) of the constitution of the PDP. “Whether the State Working Committee and the State Executive Committee of the PDP, Ogun State Chapter, should not vacate office immediately since their tenure of office has expired by effluxion of time”. Upon the resolution of the questions, the plaintiffs wants the court to order that the tenure of office of the 3rd defendant, Dayo -led State Working Committee and State Executive Committee of the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP listed in the schedule of the originating summons, which was elected and inaugurated on February 28, 2012, has expired by virtue of Section 47 (1) Chapter 6 of the constitution of the PDP. Besides, they urged the high court to declare that the 3rd defendant, Dayo-led State working Committee and State Executive Committee of the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP, cannot continue to run and/or manage the affairs of the Ogun State Chapter of the party, when their tenure of office has ended/expired by effluxion of time.]]>
