BREAKING: INEC names Jimoh Ibrahim as PDP candidate‎ for Ondo election

Wahala.....The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has named Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State.

The commission also named Mr. Alabi Ebenezer Omotayo as his running mate.
Recall that a High Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Thursday restrained the INEC from removing the name of Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the November 26, 2016 governorship election.

Justice William Olamide gave the ruling based on Exparte motion, brought before the court by the Clement Faboyede-led PDP faction in the state.

But an Abuja High Court had earlier on October 15, ordered the electoral commission to remove Jegede’s name for the name of the candidate of the Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction of the PDP, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim
