Babayemi is currently seeking justice as regards the controversy surrounding who the authentic gubernatorial candidate of the party is in the state.

He emerged as the candidate for a parallel governorship primary of PDP, while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) identified Senator Ademola Adeleke, who emerged as governor-elect, as a candidate of the party.
