Elder statesman and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Bode George has made an appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari… “The decision by INEC to recognise Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as the PDP governorship candidate in Ondo State is, perhaps, one of the most unsavory and disturbing interventions in our political space since the dawn of democracy. The decision is not only wrong; it is an inexcusable assault upon justice, fairness and morality.”

“The Justice Okon Abang ruling which had forced the hands of INEC has now created tension and deep-seated uncertainties everywhere. I appeal to President Buhari as an officer and a gentleman to ensure that justice invariably prevails in Ondo State.”

“Though the case is now before an appellate court, the body language of our President is equally important in ensuring the preservation of our democratic tenets. Justice must not only be done in this case, it must be carried out swiftly and smoothly to convince our people that truth and fairness are the most crucial ingredients of democracy.”
