The legal matter has further worsened with the withdrawal of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, ALAE IZIYON as counsel to INEC-recognised PDP candidate, JIOMOH IBRAHIM. ALEX IZIYON reportedly cited ethical and integrity reasons for his decision to hands-off the case, which was made known in a letter to his client, JIMOH IBRAHIM and the self-acclaimed State PDP Chairman, BIYI POROYE.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria cited what happened in court on Tuesday as bases upon which he was withdrawing from the case. IZIYON had been lambasted by the court for having foreknowledge of the petition by TAYO JEGEDE against the judges, but he denied the claim.
