Mr. Akinsola Jimoh, elder brother of business mogul and self-acclaimed billionaire, Jimoh Ibrahim, yesterday declared for the ruling Labour Party in Ondo State.
Commenting on the recent diatribe of his brother Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim against Governor Mimiko at the Akure airport, Mr Akinsola Jimoh tendered an unreserved apology to the governor on behalf of the family, noting that it is not the culture of the family to behave in such manner as they were brought up in a disciplined and moral way and taught to respect elders
A former member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and senatorial candidate of National Transformation Party, NTP, for Ondo South Senatorial District, the elder Jimoh said he is moving to the LP with his supporters..
Speaking at a briefing in Akure yesterday, Mr Akinsola Jimoh, said he decided to dump the PDP earlier on in his political career because it was a political wilderness characterized by breakdown of trust.
He added that his experience in the NTP showed that the place to be is among the forces now moving Ondo State forward, which is the LP.
The elder Jimoh who commended the governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko for providing dividends of democracy to the people and ensuring a peaceful election, said Mimiko has not used executive power recklessly. He said: “the LP is the party of the enlightened progressives” to which he is proud to be associated.
Welcoming Jimoh to the LP fold, the Deputy National Chairman of the party, who is also the House of Reps members elect for Ondo East/West Federal Constituency, Comrade Joseph Akinlaja commended him for taking the quality decision of jumping out of a sinking boat to an ark of Noah. He gave kudos to the governor and the party for creating room for all, promising that the new member will not regret joining the party.
He thereafter presented Labour Party-branded T-Shirt to Jimoh and received him officially into the party.
