Alhaji Idris Abiola-Ajimobi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Assembly candidate for Ibadan South-West Constituency II has commended his co-contestants for withdrawing suit against his candidature.
He made the disclosure in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Lateef Alade and made available to newsmen on Friday in Ibadan.
Abiola-Ajimobi, the son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, said that the plaintiffs had demonstrated high-level maturity and loyalty to the party by withdrawing the suit they instituted against his candidature.
The candidate appreciated his co-contestants and party leaders for their intervention which led to the amicable resolution of the issue.
He 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.
It would be recalled 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, who contested the Assembly primaries against Abiola-Ajimobi had approached the court over the outcome of the primaries.
The court had struck out the case challenging Abiola- Ajimobi’s candidature after the duo of Famurewa and Ayilara withdrew the suit in his honour.
