Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko on Friday was in Aso Villa to met with President Muhammadu Buhari to alert him of the potential danger in the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise controversial businessman, Jimoh Ibrahim as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the forthcoming election in the state.

Governor Mimiko, said to have arrived the president’s office at about 11.00am, had a close-door meeting with President Buhari.

The governor later told State House correspondents shortly after the meeting that the INEC’s action could cause a conflagration in the state.

He said there was no moral justification for what the INEC did describing Ibrahim’s declaration as injustice and mischief.

Mimiko said President Buhari promised him that he would look into the matter.

The INEC had on Thursday removed the name of Eyitayo Jegede of the PDP from the list of the candidates of the political parties that would participate in the 26 November governorship election and replaced it Ibrahim’s.
