He said the faction would take legal action over the decision of the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission not to accept the list of its chairmanship and councillorship candidates for the October 8, 2016, local government election.
The electoral body had last Thursday said it accepted the list of candidates submitted by another faction led by Sikirulai Ogundele.
While the Dayo-led faction has the support of the lawmaker representing the Ogun-East senatorial district, Senator Buruji Kashamu, the Ogundele group is backed by a member of the House of Representatives, representing Ikenne/Sagamu/Remo-North Federal Constituency, Oladipupo Adebutu.
Speaking with reporters on Sunday after an emergency stakeholders’ meeting held in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, Dayo said the party would fight till justice was done.
He said, “The party is familiar with the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission’s antics. It is not the first time the commission would be involved in this kind of illegality and injustice. It happened in 2012 and we dealt with them.
“OGSIEC’s action is a clear travesty of justice that won’t stand the test of time. We have submitted all the genuine, legally-binding documents in our possession to OGSIEC.”
