Ogun PDP Aspirant Demands Name Publication from INEC
Toba Olusegun Peter, the governorship aspirant for the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) 48 hours to explain the omission of his name from the final list of candidates for the 6 February 2027 election. Through his lawyer, Anderson Asemota, Peter demanded that his name be published as the party's duly nominated candidate, threatening legal action if the commission fails to comply.
This demand follows INEC's publication of the final list of governorship candidates on 10 October, which excluded the PDP from the Ogun State race. Asemota stated that Peter fulfilled all nomination requirements, having obtained the necessary forms on 12 May 2026 and participated in the party's primary on 27 May.
He argued that Peter's name was included in the PDP membership register submitted to INEC. The lawyer requested verification of Peter's membership status and compliance with statutory requirements, citing relevant sections of the Electoral Act, 2026.
