Jimoh Ibrahim Fires Back At Fayose: “We Shall Move To Ekiti In Full Force To Enforce Justice Abang’s Judgement”

Gubernatorial flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming election in Ondo State, Dr Jimoh Ibrahim has lambasted Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose over his unguided statement that the party’s candidate can never be governor of Ondo State.

In a terse message to the governor, titled: Fayose, too early to panic, Jimoh Ibrahim disclosed that the same horsewhip used for the incumbent Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko would soon be visited on the governor.

“The crisis in Ondo State PDP has not degenerated to a situation where a Judge was beaten up in his Court during proceedings as it was in Ekiti State during Governor Fayose’s bid to become governor,” Ibrahim said. “There is no need for Governor Fayose to panic at this time as it is too early to do so.

“Fayose is advised to wait till November 27 after the election in Ondo State, as we shall move to Ekiti in full force to enforce Justice Abang’s judgement, which also covers the Executive of PDP in Ekiti State. Our movement to Ekiti will be in day time, so it is better for Fayose to prepare and also learn from experience of Governor Mimiko who was performing in Ondo until he was distracted by Governor Fayose.

“Let me remind Governor Fayose that I am not ex-Governor Fayemi and it is now a payback time to treat Governor Fayose exactly the way he treated Fayemi using the framework of how the clustering disaster was resolved in Ekiti State leading to Governor Fayose’s “victory”.

The business mogul advised the Ekiti governor that this is not an election of prophesy and if it were to be so, “Fayose must be speaking after taking a strange coffee or “ogogoro” as he did when he predicted that Buhari will never be President of Nigeria. Now President Buhari is in the second year in office. Since Fayose has predicted that I will not be governor as he did to Buhari, it simply means he will be invited to attend my inauguration ceremony.”

Meanwhile two prominent political aides to the embattled Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko resigned from their positions on Wednesday.

Oladun Aderonke Morolayo, Special Assistant to the Governor on Political Matters, and Victor Ojo, Special Assistant to the Governor on Mobilization, tendered their resignation letters on Wednesday and defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the November 26 Ondo State gubernatorial election.

Ondo State APC spokesperson Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya confirmed the defection of the duo in a chat. Adesanya said that the two former PDP stalwarts were received by the APC camp at the Rotimi Akeredolu governorship campaign office in Akure.
