Bankole, Daniel, Abiola Edewor, out of April Polls
The political futures of Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole are in tatters. While Bankole was knocked out of Abeokuta South, Daniel’s dream of becoming a Senator representing Ogun East went up in smoke .
The names of Bankole and Daniel were dumped by the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) few hours ago. Also affected was Ms Lola Biola-Edewor, and Gbenga Isiaka.
Tunji Olunrin is the Governorship candidate, Iyabo Obasanjo, Ogun Central, Peter Olusegun Alawode , Abeokuta South, and Mohammed Olatunji for Ogun East.The omission of Bankole is curious because he was unopposed at the primaries.
Pointblanknews.com learnt that the INEC dumped all those loyal to Daniel for the Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo faction.
The INEC had temporarily accepted the Daniel's faction list but the Obasanjo camp went to an Abuja High court to seek an interim order restraining the INEC and PDP from recognizing the Daniel faction. The INEC agreed, explaining that things could change if the matter is disposed off, but the possibility of anything before April is slim.
Daniel had vowed to fight Obasanjo to the end concerning who controls the Ogun PDP, but considering the ex President’s colossal stature in the PDP,the battle may have been lost already.
Below are names of those cleared by INEC for the PDP and Action congress in ogun State for now…details coming
