INEC, in the evening of
Thursday, October 27, named businessman Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the
PDP for the election. It also named Alabi Ebenezer Omotayo as his running mate.
The election holds on November 26 and the PDP had produced two governorship
candidates with Jegede, a former commissioner for Justice supported by the
state governor, Olusegun Mimiko.
NAIJ.com reports that some
of the party chieftains loyal to the state governor are already threatening to
leave the party if the situation is not immediately rectified. “As it is now,
we are going to meet as soon as possible to determine our next line of action.
We cannot imagine supporting a Jimoh Ibrahim when Jegede who has been on ground
is not recognised,” one of the party chieftains in the state said asking not to
be named. Asked if Jimoh Ibrahim would agree to an amicable resolution, he
simply said: “It is difficult for a desperate man like that to resolve with
others. His posters have been flying about and I know this is just the
opportunity needed by the likes of Akeredolu and Oke as we draw close to the
election.”
