Jimoh Ibrahim’s recognition by INEC victory for rule of law – Sheriff-led faction

The Senator Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction of Peoples Democratic Party has described the emergence of Jimoh Ibrahim as Ondo State’s governorship candidate for the party as victory for the rule of law.
The faction of the PDP made the observation in a statement signed by its acting National Publicity Secretary, Bernard Mikko, on Thursday in Abuja.
Mikko also discribed the recognition of the candidature of Ibrahim by the Independent National Electoral Commission as victory for Ondo people.
Mikko said: “The INEC recognition of Jimoh Ibrahim is not only victory for the people of Ondo state, but also a victory for the rule of law and diminishing impunity in our electoral system.
“The PDP NWC under the leadership of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff is pleased with this development.
“The party hereby congratulates the people of Ondo state as they go to polls on November 26 to vote PDP and elect Jimoh Ibrahim as their next governor.”
INEC had earlier published the name of Ibrahim as candidate cleared for the PDP and 27 other candidates of political parties contesting the election.
NAN recalls that while Ibrahim name was submitted by Sheriff-led faction, Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led faction also submitted to INEC the name of Eyitayo Jegede as the party’s candidate.
