Has the Ogun PDP crisis been solved?

A 5-man panel of justices led by Justices Kudirat Kekere-Ekun gave the verdict following the withdrawals by the lawyers of the plaintiffs.

Tayo Olabode, who filed one of the appeals against the PDP guber candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, has his case dismissed on the ground that he lacked the locus standi to do so.

The judges agreed that the delegates who are claiming to have been disenfranchised in the PDP primary did not have the legal right to initiate court action against the primary and its winner, Adebutu, because they were not aspirants in the election.
