Justice Ibrahim Saulawa of the Appeal court in Abuja has
ordered the reinstatement of Eyitayo Jegede as the rightful
candidate of PDP in this Saturday, November 26th, Ondo state
governorship election.
This judgment nullifies the candidature of billionaire
businesman, Jimoh Ibrahim, who before now was recognized
by INEC as the party's candidate.
Delivering judgment in an appeal filed by Jegede, Justice
Saulawa set aside the October 14th ruling by Justice Okon
Abang which recognized Jimoh Ibrahim as the PDP candidate
for the election.
Jimoh belongs to the Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction of the party
while Eyitayo Jegede belongs to the Ahmed Makarfi-led
faction of the party.
