He said, “We are the authentic candidates elected by authentic delegates at the authentic venues. We shall resist any attempt to do otherwise. We are using this medium to alert the National Secretariat of the party. We shall not hesitate to go to court, if the party failed to act according to the results, that we obtained from the primary.”

Hon Samuel Olufemi Abiodun who was said to have emerged as the party candidate for Abeokuta North/Odeda/Obafemi-Owode federal constituency disclosed that the root of the illegalities being perpetrated by the party could allegedly easily be traced to Hon Ladipupo Adebutu who he said has hijacked the party.
Hon Samuel Olufemi Abiodun said “we however know where the problem is coming from, it is Hon Ladipupo Adebutu that is causing all these things. He has hijacked the leadership of the party from Hon Sukurullahi Ogundele, the Chairman of the party but we have resolved to go to court if our grievances is not attended to by the party. "We won’t accept these illegalities."
