A governorship aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Jimoh Ibrahim has suffered a set-back in his bid to have the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) accept him as the actual candidate of the party for the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.
Ibrahim was reported to have emerged as the winner of the Ondo governorship primary conducted on Monday in Ibadan, Oyo State, by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP.
Thursday, Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja declined to hear Ibrahim’s motion for an interlocutory injunction, to among others, restrain the Ahmed Makarfi faction of the party from presenting candidate for the election pending the determination of his substantive suit.
