  • Declares PDP Dead In State

His defection comes few weeks to the Ondo gubernatorial election, raising more concerns on the chance of the PDP and its candidate, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede at the poll. The election has been fixed for 10th October.

He said the candidate of the PDP, Jegede will lose the election, regardless of the amount of resources he expends on the election.

He said:”I do not want to sound proud, but i revived PDP in this state. I know how i revived the party and i am going to use the same strategy to kill the PDP.

“I have received the broom from our party chairman here. This night, I will do something. I will give the PDP its poison. I know how I revived the party, I will poison the party to death again.”

The business mogul who said he has tried so much not to talk about the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), described the party backward train with serial betrayers on board.

”I have tried not to talk about the ZLP. I pray we will not suffer in this life. Where is Zenith Labour Party in this state? The painful thing is that Agboola saw a golden opportunity and missed it to join the train of betrayers. Let me congratulate you Mr. Governor. You are going to win that election with a wide margin,” Ibrahim said.

He stated that he joined the APC because of Akeredolu’s gaint strides in the state, including the resuscitation of the Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology abandoned by the Mimiko’s administration.

He described Mimiko as a betrayer who had betrayed many of his close friends and political allies.

“The day Governor Akeredolu came to this University and I was conducting him round. I told him that I will name the roads in this University after all former Governors in this state except Mimiko.

“Immediately Governor Akeredolu shouted at me . He said that was a bad thing to do. I just laughed. Inside me, I said Mimiko will soon show you the stuff he’s made of.

“He’s a very treacherous man. Treachery dwells inside him. He can sell anybody. He betrayed Adefarati, Agagu and even sold Jegede,” Ibrahim stressed.

Receiving Ibrahim into the APC, the state Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin said the APC parades an array of leaders of integrity and proven character across the state.

He described the decision of Jimoh Ibrahim to join the APC as one informed by the quality of people the reputation of the party is attracting to it fold.

Governor Akeredolu in his remarks, thanked the people forzinistration is poised to do more for the people.

Ibrahim was received into the APC by the state chairman of the party, Adetimehin, Governor Akeredolu. The event was also attended by former Governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
