Nigerian billionaire, chairman and chief executive officer of Global Fleet Group, Jimoh Ibrahim has written a petition to President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday against the outgoing Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko.
Mr. Jimoh according to Sahara Reporters alleged Mimiko has established a “killer squad” ahead of the November 26th, 2016 governorship election in the South-western state.
He alleged that the killer squad was launched a few days ago at the Government House in Akure with the aim to cause unrest specifically in the southern part of the state.
The online news platform obtained copies of the petition with the title: "Petition Against Governor Olusegun Mimiko's Readiness To Set Ondo State On Fire: A Security Concern."
Mr. Jimoh detailed to President Buhari in his petition that the governor had been holding meetings with his cohorts on plans to unleash terror on the people of the state.
He also accused Mimiko of being the brain behind the successful abduction of his aged mother who was kidnapped by masked gunmen a few years ago in her hometown in Igbotako.
“Your Excellency Sir, Governor Mimiko held various meeting with his Labour Party people in the last few days inside the Government House, Akure, where he indicated, after weeping for sometimes, that he cannot take the disgrace of the court order replacing the candidate of his party Eyitayo Jegede, and that he will rather set Ondo state on fire, by killing any time that I start my campaign."
“He has appointed killers to coordinate his evil desire. One of such appointed killer is even from my town, and this man has been ordered by Governor Mimiko to organize these acts in the Southern Senatorial District of Ondo State.
“In the not distance past, the said Governor arraigned for my mother’s kidnapping, it took me five days to recover my aged mother. Ondo State is one of the leading States in Nigeria on matters relating to kidnapping and murder.
“For example, only last month, the former chairman of my local government was killed on his way back from church. In Ondo State, people are now living in fear”, Mr. Ibrahim said.
He added that the action of the governor was a result of the judgment delivered by Justice Okon Abang, which ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognize him (Jimoh Ibrahim) as the authentic candidate of the PDP for the poll.
