The Ondo State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has declared that governorship election will not take place in the state on November 26, 2016 if the issue of the candidacy of the Peoples Democratic Party was not resolved.

He, however, said the issue of the PDP standard bearer in the governorship election would soon be resolved by the appellate court.

The governor expressed the assurance that the candidate of the Ahmed Makarfi’s faction of the party, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), would contest the election.

The governor stated this on Sunday at the PDP stakeholders’ meeting held in Akure, the state capital.

According to him, the PDP as a party in Nigeria and Ondo State in particular, is a major stakeholder in election matter and no one can prevent the party from participating in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

He said, “I don’t know how they will do it, it is impossible for them to deny us our right. Justice will stand and Jegede will contest this election. Election can’t take place in Ondo State without the PDP.”

The governor explained that the substitution of name at the Independent National Electoral Commission was a conspiracy because the decision of INEC could not find comfort “in justice, in principle, in law and in morality.”

Mimiko, who noted that redress had been sought by Jegede, the PDP and major stakeholders, assured the party members that justice would be done because the alleged impunity on the matter would not stand.

The governor commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his action towards good and credible elections in the country by ensuring that justice would be done regarding the Ondo election.

He however debunked insinuations that he went to see Buhari as a prelude to crossing over to the All Progressives Congress.

He explained, “ I had to see the President in my capacity as the Chief Security Officer in Ondo State, briefing the Chief Security Officer of the country on the need to allow justice to prevail, and Mr. President gave his commitment to ensure that justice will be done and I have no reason to doubt him.

“Justice will stand and Jegede will contest the election. Election can’t take place without the PDP.”

We know those that are behind this. It is beyond the President. Their thinking is that without Jegede, they will win but their plan will fail, “ he said.

Is it possible my people?

OK, noted, we will wait till December 25

Anyfin goes under apc

dreamer, let's know when you wake up from your dream, then you will tell us whether Jimoh Ibrahim is not a PDP. Oke is OK joor

Your internal problem can't prevent the election from holding.

APC also have its internal problem and I know for sure that Olusegun Abraham is also in court challenging the candidature of Akeredolu.

The difference between PDP and APC in Ondo state is that while PDP is taking a bullish attitude towards its problems by inciting violence, APC on the other hand is confronting it's problem with intellectual confidence and sagacity...the peace in Ondo State is non-negotiable

Melodramatic Mimiko!

Is Jimoh Ibrahim not a member of PDP? Cos they are throwing tantrums like lil brats that can agree on toy sharing formula & play time allocation does not mean the affairs of the state will press pause or be in a state of flux..

Na dem internal wahala make dem go solve, one political party cannot hold the rest down.

Ali modu sheriff has just tutored many of you how to play politics . In politics , there are rules and regulations but many of you prefer media and dirty politics to inner politics . Jimoh ibrahim has come to stay as pdp candidate .

Funny man. When the time comes, you'd show us your appointment letter as the chairman of INEC, REC of Ondo or the IG of police or the supreme court.

So because one useless student decide say him go fight with him brother for house, make students wey ready no write exam for school again.

Rotten yeye is smelling.

Who kobalise your party.

I guess there's something in Ondo state which these people are fighting for, or no client again for them. A keredolu SAN, Jegede SAN. Na wa o

Come rain come shine the makarfi faction candidate must prevail..#fuckerholic is back#

phemmie06:
Who kobalise your party.

Wonbia,ojukokoro, ainitelorun, ijekuje and Karma capped it for them noni.

another wike in the making

This man is hallucinating o. Pls wake him and tell him PDP is no longer in power centrally and such, the brigandage witnessed before can't repeat itself. Let them put their house in order and stop disturbing NIGERIANS.

Mimiko calm down

Let the system decides

The Governor of the State is talking. Please listen. He alone knows where the shoes pinch. He has more Powers and Responsibilities over Ondo State than Mr. President.
