Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, representing Ondo South, has announced his readiness to contest the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State.

He expressed confidence in his chances, particularly following the demise of former Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

Speaking in Akure on Thursday, Senator Ibrahim asserted that the passing of Akeredolu would not diminish his prospects but rather increase his likelihood of winning both the primary and main elections.

“I’m declaring my intention to run for the governorship election of Ondo State. Among the contestants, I am the oldest. I have contested election twice in my lifetime…none of these contestants was on that ballot,” Senator Ibrahim stated confidently.

He emphasized his belief that there would be no imposition of a candidate from the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Presidency, asserting that President Bola Tinubu would ensure a free and fair primary.

“The President will never say that we should go and work for the incumbent governor…the President cannot say that I have taken this person so all of you should go and sit down,” he remarked.

Senator Ibrahim outlined his key priorities for the state, emphasizing the importance of bolstering the economy and enhancing security measures. He advocated for empowering the state Security Network Agency, popularly known as Amotekun, with modern technology to effectively combat criminal activities.

“My programmes are very straightforward…we must also map Ondo State borders for a security network and then ensure that we will never have any cases of kidnapping,” he explained.

He underscored the need for a robust security strategy, stating, “I want an Amotekun that is Information Technology informed because I have a PhD in war.”
