Sacked Governorship candidate of the Sen. Ali Modu
Sheriff faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Jimoh Ibrahim, has
commenced a last minute campaign for the candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Rotimi Akeredolu on micro blogging site, Twitter.
Recall that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, November 23,
ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reinstate
Eyitayo Jedede's name as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the
forthcoming governorship election in Ondo state.
Similarly, a five-man panel led by the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, JusticeWalter Onnoghen , on
Thursday, November24, quashed all
appeals challenging the decision of the Appellate Court which
ordered the reinstatement of Jegede as the PDP candidate in the Ondo election.
In a
related development on Friday, Ibrahim admitted that the legal battle to fly
the party’s flag was to stop Ondo State Governor, Segun Mimiko, from
helping Eyitayo Jegede win the November 26 gubernatorial election in the state.
In the video which went viral on
Friday, the billionaire businessman said he was glad that he distracted Mimiko
and Jegede, adding that the party will not win on Saturday.
While campaigning for Akeredolu on
Twitter, Mr. Ibrahim described the APC candidate as a consistent politician and a
man of integrity.
He tweeted: "The people of Ondo have no choice than to Love Akeredolu. I know him as a selfess politician with peerless leadership. #OndoLoveAkeredolu
"I can see #OndoLoveAkeredolu everywhere. Why won't the people of Ondo Love Aketi? He's a consistent politician with first class integrity".
