Citing a source close to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, Leadership newspapers reports that Sheriff approached the IGP through his close friend, one Mallam Inuwa.
He was said to have asked the police boss to help him stop the gubernatorial flag-off ceremony of Eyitayo Jegede, who emerged the PDP candidate in the forthcoming Ondo governorship election under Ahmed Makarfi leadership.
While Jimoh Ibrahim, who won the party's primary election under Sheriff's faction, is also planning to kick-off his own campaign.
