A statement from Mr. inuwa Bwala, Special advicer to Sheriff noted that, “This is against widespread speculations linking him with controversies surrounding the emergence of Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) and Jimoh Ibrahim as candidates of the PDP for the Ondo elections, to the effect that he has been arms-twisting the electoral body.

“Sheriff wishes to state that, as a law abiding leader, he is bound by whoever INEC publishes, as both candidates in contention are respectable members of the PDP, and he will treat their issues based on merits and in accordance with the law.”

 He dismissed insinuations that he was behind several petitions against the INEC stressing that he had done his duty by submitting a name to INEC, and expected that the Commission would act in accordance with its own mandate.“Sheriff is not unmindful of events leading to the emergence of the two candidates, but wishes to assure Nigerians that steps are being taken to resolve all such issues even beyond what INEC may do, to avoid past experiences occasioned by internal bickering in the PDP.
