The crisis rocking the Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) appears to be far from over.

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has reinstated Mr Gbadebo Odimayo as the winner of State House of Assembly primary election for Ode-Irele State Constituency.

Delivering judgment on the suit filed by Mr Odimayo, challenging his substitution by the PDP, Justice Ahmed Mohammed said that having won the November 29, 2014 primary election monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Ondo PDP breached the law by fielding Mr Philip Ajimotoki in the general election.

Although the lawyer to the plaintiff applauded the judgment, lawyer to the defendant announced plans to immediately appeal against the judgment in addition to filing for a stay of execution of the judgment.
