The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has named Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State.

The commission also named Mr. Alabi Ebenezer Omotayo as his running mate.

Recall that a High Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Thursday restrained the INEC from removing the name of Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the November 26, 2016 governorship election.

Justice William Olamide gave the ruling based on Exparte motion, brought before the court by the Clement Faboyede-led PDP faction in the state.

But an Abuja High Court had earlier on October 15, ordered the electoral commission to remove Jegede’s name for the name of the candidate of the Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction of the PDP, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim

JUST IN: Explosion Rocks Rivers APC Secretariat As Local Government Poll Holds

Published

on

An explosion occurred at the Tony Okocha-led secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, located along Aba Road, Port Harcourt, on Saturday, October 5, 2024, during the local government election.

The explosion damaged the gate and doors of the secretariat, along with other property. According to Tony Okocha, Chairman of the APC faction in Rivers State, “About 3:20am some gun-trotting young men with their explosives and all that, came here and dropped the first explosive,” but when it did not detonate, “they came back the second time to burn the structure – look at the security house is gone.”

Okocha alleged that the attack was politically motivated, accusing Governor Siminalayi Fubara of responsibility. He stated, “It was deliberate to see how they can annihilate us, it is deliberate to see how they can embarrass us, it is deliberate to see how they can decimate us.”

Despite the incident, accreditation and voting have commenced in several polling centres around Port Harcourt City.
