Jimoh Ibrahim joins APC, says PDP is a dead party
Business magnate, Jimoh Ibrahim has announced his defection to the All Progressives Congress in Ondo state. He said the opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is dead.
Mr Jimoh made this known during a ceremony at lgbotako in Okitipupa council area of the state. He boasted that he singlehandedly revived the PDP in Ondo state and will equally use the same strategy to kill the opposition as they head into the gubernatorial polls.
The ceremony was attended by the former Governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, the state governor Rotimi Akeredolu, party state chairman, Ade Adetimehin and other party bigwigs.
Speaking during the event, Ibrahim said:
“Even if the candidate of the PDP, Eyitayo Jegede SAN, expends all the resources at his disposal on the election, he will still lose to Governor Akeredolu.

”I do not want to sound proud, but i revived PDP in this state. I know how i revived the party and i am going to use the same strategy to kill the PDP.
“I have received the broom from our party chairman here. This night, I will do something. I will give the PDP its poison. I know how I revived the party, I will poison the party to death again.”
He also said he has been deliberately quiet about the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), which he described as a backward train with serial traitors on board.
”I have tried not to talk about the ZLP. I pray we will not suffer in this life. Where is Zenith Labour Party in this state? The painful thing is that Agboola saw a golden opportunity and missed it to join the train of betrayers. Let me congratulate you Mr. Governor. You are going to win that election with a wide margin.”
He described Mimiko as a perfidious character, who has for a long time made a habit of betraying his close political associates and cronies.
He said that he joined the APC because of Governor Akeredolu’s impressive performance during his first term.
The state Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, in his address, said that the APC parades an array of leaders of integrity and proven character across the state.
Adetimehin described the decision of Jimoh Ibrahim to join the party as a testament to the quality of characters the party boasts of.
Governor Akeredolu in his remarks thanked the people and re-stated his commitment to do more for the people of Ondo state.
