The factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ondo State, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, has petitioned President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, over the Ondo State governorship election.
Ibrahim said an INEC staff whose name he failed to disclose, demanded a bribe of $1million from him before his nomination would be accepted.
Ibrahim, who stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Sunday evening, said in the petition dated 21st October that the INEC staff insisted that she would not obey the court order recognising Ibrahim as the PDP candidate if she is not paid.
It would be recalled that Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had declared Ibrahim as the authentic candidate of the PDP, as against Eyitayo Jegede, the candidate put forward by the Ahmed Makarfi led National Caretaker Committee.
