The governorship candidate hopeful of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 26 gubernatorial election in Ondo state, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, has again reassured his teeming supporters across the state that he is still very much in the race and will contest and win the much anticipated governorship election in the state.
The governorship hopeful gave the reassurance while addressing party faithful when he arrived Campaign Office, Akure, the state capital.
He advised his numerous supporters across the 18 local government areas of the state not to relent but keep hope alive and continue with their house-to-house campaign effort aimed at ensuring that the PDP emerges victorious in this month’s governorship election.
This is coming as the Appeal Court reserved judgement in the appeal filed by Eyitayo Jegede challenging Jimoh Ibrahim who was substituted for him.
“Mark my words, we will contest and win this election. Let me tell you, this is not about Eyitayo Jegede alone; it is about the people of Ondo state, this is about good governance in our state, this is about continuation and improvement on the good things we have been enjoying in our state”, Jegede emphasized.
The PDP governorship candidate asserted that the obvious conspiracy and injustice against him which lead to unjust removal of his name will be corrected.
“I’m in this business to reclaim my mandate and I’m serious about it”, he said.
Jegede, who refuted the insinuation that he is gradually losing his local base as a result of the ongoing court cases, also stated that it is the people that will decide who will become the Governor of the state.
He particularly said he was amazed that just because of the love the people have for his candidacy, traders across the state capital shut down their shops to join in the protest against illegal removal of his name from the ballot by INEC, saying that such love has never been shown to any governorship candidate before in the history of the state.
“Let me tell you this, I did not know of any contestant of any governorship election that will have a whole market in the state capital shut down because of him.
“I have never known of any contestant that has ever shut down the state capital and the traders demonstrated that, “that man” must be on the ballot.
“I have never known of any contestant that will have major towns shut down because of injustice done to him. It is Eyitayo Jegede everywhere.
“The present distraction will soon be overcome and your man, your brother, your son, Eyitayo Jegede will contest and win the election.
“Keep on praying, keep on trusting God and by God’s grace we will triumph and we shall be victorious”, he stressed...
