Injunction against Kwara PDP: We were not served any summon – Akogun Oyedepo

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, has said that he received the news of an order of injunction on the party as funny because the party was not served with any court process.

ROYAL NEWS reports that Oyedepo said this in Ilorin on Wednesday in a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Dr Rex Olawoye.

“We heard as a rumor that an ex parte order of injunction has just been issued against the State Executive of the Kwara Chapter of PDP by an Ilorin High Court.

“The injunction may be to stop the Chairman and perhaps other members of the Executive from parading themselves as the authentic Kwara State Executive of the PDP.

“This injunction if true, must have been issued by the honorable court in error. This is because we have never been issued and served with any court process in respect of any case,” Olawoye said.

According to Olawoye, there was a case of litigation in respect of PDP congress conducted on November 13, 2017 which was filed at the Federal High Court by Prince Sunday Adeniran Fagbemi and others since December, 2017.

He said that the case was thrown out by that court on the 31st day of May 31, 2018.

“Instead of the Plaintiff, Prince Fagbemi and company to go on appeal, they decided to take the same case to a State High Court.

“The court has never served us court process so that the matter can be heard on merit; as there is no urgency to warrant an ex parte application in a matter that was instituted more than eight months
ago.

“The only thing we hear is an order of injunction to stop our Executive that has been a torn in the flesh of the power that be from functioning,” Olawoye added.

Olawoye therefore appealed to PDP members and supporters to be calm as legal process will be set in motion to vacate the order of injunction forthwith.
