A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ondo state, Eyitayo Jegede, is confident that PDP will sail to victory in the November governorship election.
Jegede in a statement issued in Akure on Friday 26 April said this “is the time for PDP to put the state back on the path of growth and development.” He was reacting to Alfred Agboola Ajayi clinching the party’s governorship candidate’s primary.
The statement read, “I congratulate Alfred Agboola Ajayi, on his emergence as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Ondo state in the upcoming contest for the office of the governor later this year. I equally congratulate the PDP family on the successful conduct of the party primary.
“No doubt, the outcome of the primary conducted signals the beginning of the great struggle to wrestle power from APC led government and put Ondo state again on the path of growth and development.
“It is time to join hands and build a party that will fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people.
“I call on all the aspirants/contestants in the race, who coincidentally are from the southern senatorial zone, to cooperate fully with the candidate and be part of the great push for the rebirth of our dear state.”
Also the party’s Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, in a statement said, “Our party also congratulates all other contestants who displayed a high sense of sportsmanship and decorum during and after the primary election. It was a family affair, which has demonstrated to the entire world that, the PDP is serious about its readiness to re-occupy the Alagbaka Government House, Akure.
“The last seven years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the State have brought untold hardship and misery on the people. Hence, the time is now to send vendors of poverty out and bring back prosperity to our land. There was no winner, nor vanquished. It was a victory for PDP, and a victory for democracy in Ondo State.”
