More than 11 political parties have merged and collapsed their structures to support the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Eyitayo Jegede ahead of October 10 governorship election.
This was disclosed to
newsmen on Monday in Akure by the chairmen of the political parties, who spoke
through the State Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Oladele
Ogunbameru, who added that the decision was taken in the common interest of the
state.
He noted that the adoption
of Jegede was a clear indication that the PDP would record victory.
“We have invited you today,
October 5, 2020 to intimate you of the outcome of a series of meetings of 10
out of the 17 political parties participating in the Ondo 2020 governorship
elections.
“We have resolved to back
the PDP candidate, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), for the polls at the meeting held on
Sunday, October 4, in Akure with the party leaders and top echelon of the PDP
in attendance.
“We are committed to good
governance in Ondo State which we believe can only be offered by the PDP at
this present austere time.
“There is no gain saying
that the present political leadership in Ondo State can be best described as
nothing but an anathema in the face of things.
“This collaboration is an
organised effort to save Ondo State from political quagmire and undesirable
socio-economic predicament of our people.
“The undersigned political
party leaders, therefore, resolved to work as a team in tandem with the PDP’s
well captured manifesto for the welfare, well being and life more abundant for
the good people of Ondo State,” Ogunbameru said.
Reacting, the State Chairman
of the PDP, Alhaji Fatai Adams, said the party was happy that the popularity of
Eyitayo Jegede was attracting massive endorsement from key stakeholders.
The political parties’
chairmen who supported the PDP candidate include: Ajibola Falayi of
Accord Party; Olasunkanmi Obafemi (AA); Sule Odeade (ADP); Isreal Ayeni (AAC);
Niran Toye (APGA).
Others are Felix Oloro
(APM), Adesanya Olaoluwa (APP); Peter Olagokun (NNPP); Funmilayo Jenyo (NRM);
and Oladele Ogunbameru (SDP).
