Sahara Reporters, which acquired the petition sent to President Buhari on Tuesday, October 18, reports that Ibrahim claimed the killer squad was launched a few days ago at the Government House in Akure and aims to cause unrest in the southern part of the state.
“Your Excellency Sir, Governor Mimiko held various meeting with his Labour Party people in the last few days inside the Government House, Akure, where he indicated, after weeping for sometimes, that he cannot take the disgrace of the court order replacing the candidate of his party Eyitayo Jegede, and that he will rather set Ondo state on fire, by killing any time that I start my campaign.”
“He has appointed killers to coordinate his evil desire. One of such appointed killer is even from my town, and this man has been ordered by Governor Mimiko to organize these acts in the Southern Senatorial District of Ondo State.
“In the not distance past, the said Governor arraigned for my mother’s kidnapping, it took me five days to recover my aged mother. Ondo State is one of the leading States in Nigeria on matters relating to kidnapping and murder.
“For example, only last month, the former chairman of my local government was killed on his way back from church. In Ondo State, people are now living in fear,” Ibrahim said.

Describing the development as Mimiko’s reaction to his (Ibrahim’s) installation as rightful candidate of the PDP in the Ondo election by Justice Okon Abang, Ibrahim also urged the president to send the Directorate of State Security (DSS) to investigate killings during the campaign to prevent anarchy in the state.
“Your Excellency, it is imperative that the State Security Service should not allow anyone to contest the upcoming governorship election in the Ondo state under the PDP apart from Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim in respect of which the court order is specific.
“This is imperative to prevent a state of anarchy in Ondo state and also in line with the specific order of the court and due adherence to the rule of law and the time-honored principle of separation of powers,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Ali Modu Sheriff fraction wing of the PDP in Ondo state has described the ruling of an Abuja Federal High Court headed by Justice Okon Abang that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Jimoh Ibrahim as the candidate of the party in the state as victory for democracy.
