Oyo 2023: Ajimobi son’s opponents drop legal action

The lawsuit against the candidature of Idris Abiola-Ajimobi for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly has been dropped.

In May, Idris won the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for Ibadan South-West II State Constituency.

But his emergence was opposed by two party members, Michael Famurewa and Olawale Ayilara.

The duo have now withdrawn their suit against the son of the ex-governor Abiola Ajimobi.

The court struck out the case after Famurewa and Ayilara dropped the legal action.

In his reaction on Friday through spokesman Lateef Alade, Idris commended the co-contestants.

The flagbearer noted that the plaintiffs demonstrated maturity and loyalty to the party.

Idris also thanked APC leaders for their intervention which led to amicable resolution of the issue.

“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.
