ALHAJI Idris Abiola-Ajimobi, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Oyo State House of Assembly candidate, has commended his co-contestants for withdrawing their suit against his candidature.
Abiola-Ajimobi, son of the late Gov. Abiola Ajimobi, gave the commendation in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Lateef Alade, on Friday in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Abiola-Ajimobi had won the party’s primaries on May 26 to contest the Ibadan South-West II State Constituency seat in the 2023 general elections.
The duo of Michael Famurewa and Olawale Ayilara, contesting the Assembly primaries against Abiola-Ajimobi, had approached the court over outcomes of the primaries.
NAN reports that the court had struck out the case challenging Abiola-Ajimobi’s candidature, following withdrawal of the suit in his honour, by Famurewa and Ayilara.
Abiola-Ajimobi said that the plaintiffs had demonstrated high level maturity and loyalty to the party by their actions of withdrawing the suit instituted against his candidature.
He appreciated his co-contestants and the party leaders for their intervention, which led to amicable resolution of the issue.
Abiola-Ajimobi assured all members of the party, including his co-contestants, of quality representation, promising to justify the confidence reposed in him.
“I assure our leaders, co-contestants, constituents and other members of the party that I will justify the confidence reposed in me through quality representation,” he said.(NAN)
