Who wants the Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) Eyitayo Jegede in the October 10 election dead?

This is the question being asked by the Eyitayo Jegede Campaign Organisation, a body which coordinated his campaigns during the electioneering. It has, therefore, called on security agencies to beef up security around the PDP flag bearer.

A statement, Sunday evening, signed by spokesman of the organization, Gbenga Akinmoyo stated that:  “There is security threat to the Candidate of the PDP in the election of 10th October 2020, especially in relation to the petition which he lodged against the APC at the Election Tribunal.

“Sources confirmed that various meetings have been held at very high quarters by those who feel threatened by the step taken by the Candidate.

“We use this opportunity to notify the security agencies of this threat and/or likely breach of security around our Candidate, we believe the security agencies will rise up to the occasion and take the threat seriously.”

Jegede who was defeated by incumbent Governor, and candidate of the APC, Rotimi Akeredolu, is changing his defeat at the State Governorship Election Tribunal.

Neither the Governor, nor the APC has reacted to Jegede’s claims.
