Ondo South lawmaker, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, has withdrawn his suit against All Progressives Congress, INEC and Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa over the last month party’s Governorship primary.
The Senator said his action was in honour of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
This was contained in a letter signed by the Senator.
The letter reads:
Presidential intervention and notice of withdrawal suit No FHC/ABJ/CS/588/2024 The suit is now withdrawn due to the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. The President called me, had a meeting with me, and assured me that he will as the leader of the party improve on internal democracy within our party, and i will need to withdraw the case to enable him to chart a way forward.
The Governor of Ondo state Lucky Aiyedatiwa earlier visited my Asokoro residence for several hours after another unsuccessful visit to my hotel room in Akure.
I cannot disobey the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because the issue am fighting for is not personal.
It is simply to improve internal democracy to which the President has promised improvement. My respect for the President is absolute! Let me use this opportunity to thank Mr. President for the words of wisdom and encouragement during my meeting with him which lasted over one hour and his various interactions with me on the telephone during which he emphasized his commitment to internal democracy over and over again.
Thank you, Mr. President. Gentlemen of the Press The withdrawal of this legendary suit is concise with the first anniversary of Mr. President’s incredible performance in office, and this is my gift of the “cake” of the first anniversary!
