The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Ondo State, Jimoh Ibrahim are at each others throat over the forthcoming Ondo governorship election.
Fsyose, while speaking on Orange FM, a political programme in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Tuesday, declared that Ibrahim, the factional governorship candidate of the PDP will never become the governor of Ondo State.
He described Ibrahim as an agent of destabilisation who allegedly had a mission to cause confusion and distraction to the people of the state.
He said some agents of confusion were allegedly using the crisis in the PDP to cause confusion in the party so as to pave the way for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), to win the November 26, governorship election.
He said, “I want my people in Ondo State to stand by Jegede, they should not be distracted. I believe justice will prevail. This is a fight against democracy.
“I don’t know Jimoh Ibrahim, he is not a member of the PDP, and he is a spoiler. I don’t know how Jimoh Ibrahim will rule Ondo State. Justice will prevail for Jegede, there will definitely be light at the end of the tunnel. I know it is going to be praises for Jegede and the people of the state at the end of the day.”
On his own, Ibrahim lambasted Fayose for saying that he could never be governor of Ondo State.
In a terse message to the governor, titled: Fayose, too early to panic, Jimoh Ibrahim said that the same horsewhip used for the incumbent Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko would soon be used on the governor.
“The crisis in Ondo State PDP has not degenerated to a situation where a Judge was beaten up in his court during proceedings as it was in Ekiti State during Governor Fayose’s bid to become governor.
“There is no need for Governor Fayose to panic at this time as it is too early to do so. Fayose is advised to wait till November 27 after the election in Ondo State, as we shall move to Ekiti in full force to enforce Justice Abang’s judgement, which also covers the Executive of PDP in Ekiti State.
“Our movement to Ekiti will be in day time, so it is better for Fayose to prepare and also learn from the experience of Governor Mimiko, who was performing in Ondo until he was distracted by Governor Fayose.
“Let me remind Governor Fayose that I am not ex-Governor Fayemi and it is now a payback time to treat Governor Fayose exactly the way he treated Fayemi using the framework of how the clustering disaster was resolved in Ekiti State leading to Governor Fayose’s Victory.”
