ABEOKUTA- REPRIEVE came the way of embattled Governor Olugbenga Daniel of Ogun State Wednesday, as a State high Court sitting in Abeokuta declared his faction; the Joju Fadairo-led executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the authentic executive of the party in Ogun State.
he judgment came just as the National Secretary of the Party Dr. Usman Baraje, former Chairman Board of Trustees; Chief Anthony Anenih and the Chief of Staff to President Goodluck Jonathan; Chief Mike Oghiodome met with Governor Daniel in his Sagamu country home, obviously to persuade him against dumping the PDP.
Vanguard gathered that the visit of the delegation from President Jonathan was to find a political solution to the problem as Daniel was reported to be on the verge of moving his candidates into the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) which he was reported to have had a foothold.
The Joju Fadairo led executive had on 9th of August 2010 approached the State high Court instituting an action to restrain the National Executive council of the party from ratifying the decision of the National Working Committee pending the determination of the suit.
It also asked the court to restrain the National Executive of the PDP from appointing any caretaker committee for the PDP in the state and to also declare the content of the letter authorizing the harmonization of the executive as null and void.
Delivering judgment on the suit yesterday, Justice Adetokunbo Jibodu said that the process by the PDP to remove or dissolve the Joju Fadairo executive was null as they were elected to serve for four years.
He then declared the harmonization of the Ogun State PDP unconstitutional, null and void.
Apparently ecstatic about the judgment, members of the party trooped to the Secretariat on Kobape road singing victory songs while the Chairman; Chief Joju Fadairo at a press conference immediately after said that it was now clear that “justice delayed can never be justice denied”
Meanwhile, a team of three including Chief Anenih, Dr. Baraje and Chief Oghiodiome yesterday arrived the Sagamu home of Governor Daniel at about 2.15pm and moved straight into the library, where the meeting was held.
