Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A governorship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Segun Showunmi, has said his case challenging the primary election of the party is still in court.<\/p>\n

Showunmi said his case is currently before the Supreme Court in Abuja, expressing optimism that the court would rule in his favour.<\/p>\n

The PDP chieftain described the party\u2019s governorship candidate in Ogun, Ladi Adebutu, as someone who is not ready for real reconciliation, saying he would not support him.<\/p>\n

He said the judgment of the Supreme Court may come anytime, stating that nobody could build something on nothing.<\/p>\n

Addressing party leaders in Abeokuta Saturday, Showunmi accused Adebutu of a lack of mutual respect and poor human relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said very emphatically that any day the Supreme Court calls our case, then people will know that you cannot build something on nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am committed to Waziri Atiku Abubakar. You are all witnesses that I\u2019ve visited Adebutu a couple of times. I sent him condolences for his mother. I even went to his father\u2019s house to sign the condolence register.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs the distance from my own house to Adebutu\u2019s house not the same distance from Adebutu\u2019s house to my house?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He told his supporters that those who had taken him for granted would not enjoy his support.<\/p>\n

While saying he is for PDP, Showunmi said the party would reconvene after voting for Atiku on February 25 to decide on the governorship poll.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything can change tomorrow. In 2019 when judgment came at the last minute, we stood with PDP, they are the ones who are merchandising the party,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
