As the gubernatorial Primary election is fast approaching in Ondo State, the governorship aspirant from the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Eyitayo Jegede SAN has said that the journey to unseat governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in the October 10 election has begun.
He made this declaration by obtaining his nomination form from the national secretariat of his party.
Jegede had on Tuesday obtained his nomination form at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja but returned to the Ondo state capital on Wednesday amidst rousing welcome by party leaders and members with various songs and jubilation.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after addressing those who converged on his campaign office to welcome him, Jegede said “The PDP is a democratic party. We have just commenced a process that will lead us to the government house and the first thing we did was to obtain nomination form and am sure by the grace of God, we will be there.
We were assured at the national secretariat of a transparent and democratic primary and PDP is ready for that. By God’s grace , there will be level playing field.
The national secretariat said there is nothing like zoning, it is not in the party’s constitution. It is not in any policy. It is just contrived by some people who want to achieve power by means rather than democratic process.
In any case, all the time and all the while , PDP had always put its best legs forward and go and check, all PDP candidates have always emerged through primary election and this will not be an exception.
My constituency is the entire Ondo state. It is not a section because I am not running for a senatorial election. I am running for a state election.
We are hopeful that by the grace of God, there will be no hindrance and that the people will demonstrate their presence to the ballot.
They have now compared and seen the difference and am sure they will make the right choice. But we will continue to campaign. ”
