PDP Loses Case Against Ali Modu-Sheriff's Faction In Ogun

A bid by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to relist an appeal to challenge the decision of the Federal High Court in Lagos which validated the Adebayo Dayo-led PDP executives in Ogun State has failed.

The PDP's application was dismissed by the Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal, who also awarded N600,000 punitive cost against the party.

The court ordered that the punitive cost should be paid to a former factional leader of the PDP, Ali Modu-Sheriff, Prof Wale Oladapo and Dayo.

The Federal High Court in Lagos had ordered the PDP to recognise the Dayo-led executive in Ogun State on the basis that its tenure would not expire until 2020.

But displeased with the decision, the PDP headed for the Court of Appeal.
