PDP Raises Alarm Over INEC's Omission of Candidates
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed its concern regarding the omission of some of its candidates from the final list of successful contestants released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Notably, Ladi Adebutu, the Ogun State governorship candidate, and Ali Pantami, the Gombe State governorship candidate, were not included in this list.
In a statement by Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, the party assured affected candidates and supporters that it is engaging with INEC to address the omissions and aims to secure an amicable resolution in accordance with electoral guidelines. Additionally, former senator Shehu Sani advised omitted candidates to refrain from pursuing legal action, referencing a Supreme Court ruling that upholds specific membership requirements for political party candidates.
The Pantamiyya Movement, loyal to Ali Pantami, described the omission as a temporary challenge and urged supporters to remain calm.
