The protest in Ondo town over the substitution of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate has turned bloody with the death of a secondary school student who was reportedly hit by the tear gas canister, released by the police in dispersing the rioters in Ondo town. While the identity of the student remains unknown, the protest also continued in Akure, the Ondo state capital as rioters again trooped to the streets, protesting the decision of INEC. INEC had replaced Eyitayo Jegede’s name with Jimoh Ibrahim as it obeyed a ruling by Justice Okon Abang of an Abuja Federal High Court.

Meanwhile, the traditional ruler of Akure, The Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the Ondo PDP crisis arising from substitution of Eyitayo Jegede with Jimoh Ibrahim as governorship candidate by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) according to court orders. Aladetoyinbo made the appeal while addressing aggrieved PDP members and the supporters, who again came out in their thousands at his Palace, in Akure.

He also enjoined INEC to be not be partisan. “The judiciary should also intervene and make sure that all parties get justice because we don’t want any injustice in Ondo State,” he said. Speaking on behalf of the protesters, PDP Chairman in the state, Engr Clement Faboyede, called on the president to prevail on INEC to look into the issue. “We don’t want Ondo State to be on fire because our state is peaceful. Some cabals in All Progressive Congress (APC) are using Jimoh Ibrahim against the candidacy of Jegede, Jimoh is not a PDP member but rather a card carrying member of Accord party,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) called on security agents in the state to be more pro-active in combating criminal activities as the governorship election draws near. In a statement by the state Publicity Secretary, Mr Remi Olayiwola, the party said that the protest that trailed the removal of Jegede’s name and its replacement with Jimoh Ibrahim had to do with the flag bearer of only one out of the 28 participating political parties in the election.

The SDP said: “The other day, it was the APC disturbing the people of the state, today, it is the PDP. These are political parties in government at various levels in the country. So, if there’s any violence during the forth coming governorship election, the two parties must be held responsible.” Also, the Alliance for Democracy (AD) condemned the acts of brigandage and blocking of roads by protesters were organized by government.

when will this so called youth be wise? Those people you are fighting for, their children are outside the country enjoying the country stolen money and some, some, some..... ... (let me don't start the day with insults ) are busy killing themselves for those selfish morons in the name of politics.


Mtchweeeeee God help the so called youth of this country

Somebody should share cucumber to them all.

Mimiko should continue with the sponsoring of thugs, by the time it gets out of hands and snowballs into into a full-blown crisis, FGN will declare a state of emergency in Ondo State and Mimiko will complete his tenure in prison and jinx of no Governor ever completes two terms in Ondo State will remain unbroken.

APC is violent and clueless.

Its a show of solidarity and patriotism. enough is enough for Okon Abang and APC conspiracy.

Wetin dey pain me bsay my man dey dere

jegede children dey Oxford university, oke children dey Manchester, Akeredolu children dey New York city, mimiko children dey fela in Paris.... so the rest of you can kill your self. life continue....

Wetin the pikin dey find there sef en? No politician goes to a protest with his or her children. I wonder whats wrong with some people.

Ontop how much

Now, we know which party is a party of violence... Am just wondering, what if they lose the election.. They will say it's rigged and burn tyres .. I just pity the youths they are using

dying for a politician is not and never worth it.

I hope he's not married yet before his demise, thereby subjecting his poor widow and children, family to grieve and sorrow... Also, hope he gave his Life to Christ before he died; that's the principal thing.
Unworthy death

Lol! Jimoh Ibrahim is a card carrying member of accord party. He'll be contesting on the platform of PDP. But someone thinks APC is responsible *slow claps*

Just rubbish election ....nothing functions again......
