The party urged INEC to immediately comply with the judgment, which directed the electoral commission to include Adebutu’s name on the list of candidates within 24 hours.
In a statement issued on Friday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, described the ruling as a significant victory for democracy, justice and the rule of law.
The party said the court declared INEC’s omission of Adebutu’s name unlawful, null and void, while commending the judiciary for what it described as its courage, independence and commitment to constitutional principles.
While applauding the court’s intervention, the PDP called on INEC to give immediate effect to the order without hesitation.
The party said the judgment had boosted its confidence and strengthened its resolve ahead of the 2027 general elections, adding that the development had energised its members, supporters and stakeholders.
“This is a welcome development that has energised our members, supporters and stakeholders, while reaffirming our collective resolve to offer Nigerians a credible alternative,” the statement said.
The PDP also called on residents of Ogun State to rally behind Adebutu and other party candidates in the 2027 elections.
It pledged to prioritise economic opportunities, infrastructure development, education and healthcare, while ensuring that government genuinely serves the interests of the people.
The party expressed confidence that, with the support and mandate of Ogun residents, it would provide the leadership needed to restore the state’s developmental aspirations and improve citizens’ living conditions.
“The journey to reclaim Ogun State and restore purposeful governance is firmly on course,” the statement added.
