The Ikale Heritage Development Association( IHDA) , the foremost socio cultural group of Ikaleland, has congratulated Dr Jimoh Ibrahim  on his well deserved victory as the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, representing Ondo South Senatorial district in the  2023 general elections.

The Business mogul, on Saturday, clinched the  ticket with 190 votes, defeating his closest rival, Mathew Oyerinmade, who polled 92 votes. Boye Oyewunmi got 23 votes while Olusola Iji and Morayo Lebi scored nine votes each, and Muyiwa Akinfolarin had zero votes.

The Returning Officer, Yinka Orokoto, who announced the result, said the election was free, fair, and transparent.

He said that out of 330 delegates, seven were absent while 323 delegates were accredited to cast their votes, without any void vote.

In a message signed by the Chairman of IHDA, Otunba Sola Olatunji, the group urges Ibrahim  to

take this victory as ‘for all’ in the South Senatorial district, Ondo State and Nigeria especially Ikale nation where he comes from and work hard by extending olive branch to his competitors.

“Reconcile with aggrieved members of your party who may have one issues or the other with the party,” Olatunji said in the message. ”Be at the forefront of reconciliation  across the communities within your district and market your programmes to the grassroots.

“We saw the strategy you deployed into this  race so don’t take for granted the general elections when you will be squaring  it up with the candidate of PDP..

“Once again, accept our deepest congratulations on your electoral victory and wishing you many  more victories in future elections.”.

Ibrahim thanked God for his victory at the primary. He also thanked Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and his wife, Betty Anyawu-Akeredolu, for their unflinching support.

“I dedicate this victory to God Almighty, mankind, and Governor Akeredolu, a hegemon of politics in Ondo State.” Ibrahim said after the victory.
