The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for calm over the appearance of Mr Jimoh Ibrahim’s name on the list of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s candidate for the November 26 governorship election.

A statement by the Party’s Director of Publicity, Ayo Fadaka said the development was shocking as Jimoh Ibrahim was not a member of the PDP.

“This development is not only shocking but a complete aberration as a man absolutely unknown to the Party has been made our candidate”, he said.


Fadaka however expressed hope that this temporary set back will be resolved by the Appeal court in Abuja which begins sitting today.

“We, however, advise our members to remain calm as this development is a temporary setback that will certainly be reversed through the instrumentality of the law, via the Court of Appeal. We are sure that justice will be done on this matter”, Fadaka explained.
