INEC names Kashamu Ogun PDP gov candidate

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
identified Buruji Kashamu as the governorship candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.

This is as INEC had earlier warned that any candidate
campaigning for elective position without being on the candidates’
list released by the electoral umpire “is on his or her own” as the
body has nothing to do with such.

Mr. Festus Okoye, INEC National Commissioner for Information,
Media and Voter Education, said this while featuring on Citizens’
Forum, a programme aired by the Rock City 101.9 FM, Abeokuta, Ogun
State.

Honourable Oladipupo Adebutu, a member of the House of
Representatives and some of his supporters have been campaigning
for various offices despite not making the list of candidates
released by INEC.

Adebutu has been at loggerheads with Senator Buruji Kashamu,
PDP’s governorship candidate in Ogun State, over the governorship
ticket.

According to Okoye, only members of the PDP whose names were on
the list released by INEC were the genuine candidates of the party,
adding that others were mere pretenders.
