Following an order by the Court of Appeal that Eyitayo Jegede be named candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jimoh Ibrahim, who belongs to the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the party, has said he would approach the Supreme Court.
Recall the Appellate Court in a judgment earlier today, ruled that INECerred in recognizing Jimoh Ibrahim, adding that Jegede was the candidate that should contest the November 26 governorship election.
Displeased with the judgment, Ibrahim in a statement, expressed optimism that he would get justice at the apex Court.
The statement reads in part, “I have read the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered today (Wednesday). We have nothing to lose, as the Supreme Court sits on the same case tomorrow.
“We shall get justice at the Supreme Court and if PDP wins Saturday election, we shall have our four-year mandate to rule Ondo State.
“Let me advise you not to abuse anyone or fight over this one day ruling. Mimiko will not succeed himself with Jegede. This is too sure.
“We continue with our work and remain in our great party, PDP. I love the great people of Ondo state and I thank you all for continuous support.” The statement added.
