Just like every offspring of humble background, Jimoh Ibrahim, struggled to survive. As he grew up and became exposed, his struggle for survival soon became a determination for success and he was able to cut a clear picture of what he wanted to do. He worked on his vision while he was an undergraduate at Obafemi Awolowo University and before anyone knew it, Jimoh had created a path for himself and success became imminent as things started working out for him. How the controversy-loving personality made it big is now history as Jimoh Ibrahim, today ranks among the money bags in Nigeria.
To further fulfill his dream in life, the Igbotako-born Jimoh tried his hands in the governorship race of his state, Ondo, on the platform of ANPP, but his war chest could not do the magic for him as real political gladiators shoved him aside when it was time for real battle.

After his failed outing in 2003, the man behind Global Fleet went back to the drawing board and part of the strategies he came up with was to pitch his tent with the ruling party, to which he has been contributing his quota at the state level. From what is on ground, the bulky businessman may have made up his mind to give another shot at the coveted seat of number one man in Ondo State come 2016, as he has earnestly started his awareness campaign. It is clear that he’s interested in succeeding the incumbent governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.

As part of his activities, Jimoh, some days ago staged a conference for politicians in Ondo State, where modalities of how to turn the state around was the theme. The event which had Chief Olu Agbi, as the chairman was held in Ile- Ife, Osun State. Apart from this, many vehicles plying the roads in the Sunshine state now have the inscription of Jimoh Ibrahim’s gubernatorial ambition.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, over alleged anti-party activities.

 

Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor of Osun State had been having a running battle with the Osun chapter of the APC in recent times.

 

The disagreement with the APC led him into forming a factional group within the party, known as The Osun Progressive (TOP) which later mutated into the Omoluabi Caucus.

 

 

 

A letter from the APC leadership seen by newsmen on Wednesday officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.

 

The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.

 

The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.

 

 

The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
