PDP Pledges to Secure Victory in Ondo Governorship Election

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged to secure victory in the November 16 off-cycle governorship election in Ondo State for its candidate, Agboola Ajayi.

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to deliver victory to its candidate, Agboola Ajayi, in the November 16 off-cycle governorship election in Ondo State.

The party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, made the pledge on Tuesday during the party’s campaign launch in Akure, the state capital.

The campaign, which took place on the Oyemekun Road, was held after the state government allegedly denied the PDP access to the M.K.O. Abiola Democracy Park.

Damagum urged the electorate to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the party of worsening the country’s economic crisis and driving up the cost of essential goods.

He said, “This is the time you should pay them with your own coin. You know all these years, you haven’t had good roads. They have brought hunger, but it is time to change them and vote for PDP. We will not condone any injustice.

“All 13 governors are with you, and we will deliver Ondo to Agboola Ajayi.”

The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, said the leadership crisis within the PDP had been resolved, and the party was now united and strong.

He said, “We are here to challenge the governance of the APC. We are not joking about it. We are here to support our candidate fully.”

The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, who is also the Chairman of the Ondo State Governorship Campaign Council, called for a massive turnout to support Ajayi in the upcoming election.

In a statement by his spokesman, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke said, “We must come out en masse to vote for Agboola Ajayi. He is the best candidate for the job.

“We are confident that Ajayi will win the election and bring about the desired change in Ondo State.”

The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, demanded the removal of Ondo’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Babalola, over alleged bias towards the APC.

Makinde said Babalola’s previous interactions with APC members raised questions about her impartiality.

He said, “We will protest until she is removed. Bring another REC that will be fair. We are not afraid of a free contest in the state.

“PDP is ready to deliver for Ajayi, and we will reclaim Ondo State.”

Ajayi, the PDP governorship candidate, expressed optimism about winning the election, emphasizing key areas of focus if elected, including security, electricity, infrastructure, industrialisation, roads, and education.
