Former Managing Director of the defunct Nigeria Airways, Jani Ibrahim, is said to be warming up for the governorship race in Kwara State. He is said to have mentioned the idea to quite a number of his friends and associates. He is said to be pursuing this ambition on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has torn into factions in the state.
Surprisingly, those who should rally round Ibrahim are said to be taken aback by his ambition, which many of them see as nothing more than a mere illusion. But the Offa-born former Nigeria Airways boss is getting things fixed ahead of the battle for the party’s governorship ticket.
Those allegedly eyeing the ticket include Chief John Dara, Dele Belgore, Prof. Shuaib Oba Abdul Raheem, Senator Simeon Ajibola and Senator Suilaman Ajadi. Jani is the owner of Lubcon Oil, with factories in Nigeria, Ghana and Ethiopia.
