In the heart of Ondo State’s political arena, a storm brewed, as Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, representing the Ondo Southern Senatorial District, stood firm in defiance against the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In the aftermath of the APC gubernatorial primary, where tensions ran high and stakes soared, Senator Ibrahim dared the party’s hierarchy to sanction him, as he approached the court to challenge the outcome of the April, 20 gubernatorial primary of the party.
His defiance came as a response to the condemnations hurled by Lawson and Isijola of the Ondo Peoples Assembly (OPA), who vehemently criticized what they deemed as attempts to undermine the democratic process. They pointed fingers at Senator Ibrahim and some supporters of Chief Olusola Oke, labeling their actions as sustained attacks on the personality of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
“The people of Ondo State are deeply displeased,” Lawson and Isijola declared, “by the relentless efforts to discredit Governor Aiyedatiwa and the process.” They echoed the sentiment that the gubernatorial primary, despite its heated competition, had been adjudged by the APC and observers as free, fair, and credible.
Senator Ibrahim’s challenge to the APC leadership sent shockwaves through the political landscape, signaling a rift within the party’s ranks. As tensions simmered and accusations flew, the people of Ondo State watched with bated breath, uncertain of what the future held for their political landscape.
