The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Ondo state, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, has declared, in his acceptance speech, that “with the support of the people of the state and other party members, We will take over government of Ondo state, come October 2020.”

In what looked like a red signal alert to the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), Jegede dedicated his victory to all party members and other co-aspirants and urged them to ensure they work together for the victory of the party.

In his reaction, the runner up and deputy governor of the state, Mr Agboola Ajayi,  stated that “we remain undaunted and resolute about our commitment to a people- oriented government against personalised democracy.

A statement by his media adviser Mr Allen Sowore, declared that “Following the outcome of the Primary election of our party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), held on 22nd July,2020, where Eyitayo Jegede SAN, was elected winner, we wish to thank the good people of Ondo State for standing with us in the struggle to liberate our State.

“The people have spoken, and we accept the outcome in good faith, knowing fully well that it was a race against different forces”
