At last Mr
Jimoh Ibrahim gets the backing of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the November
26 governorship election in Ondo State. Also, Mr. Alabi Ebenezer Omotayo was
named as his running mate.
Though Mr
Eytayo Jegede (SAN) was candidature was withheld by a High Court sitting in
Akure, when it restrained the electoral umpire from removing Jegede’s name as
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the November 26, 2016
governorship election.
The court
ruling was as a result of the Exparte motion one Clement Faboyede and his
faction brought before it.
On the
contrary, a High Court in the Federal Capital made an initial ruling which
ordered the electoral umpire to remove the name of Jegede who happens to be the
candidate of the Markafi led faction of the party to Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim of the
Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction of the PDP.
