Ondo guber: I ‘ll contest and win by special grace of God –Jegede

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...

Tinubu As A Leader Is Responsible For His Own Misfortunes ~ Fayemi

Sequel to the ongoing intraparty crisis segregating the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC), another known "political son" to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who had chosen to pitch his tent with President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun, Dr Kayode Fayemi has thrown a stone at his former political godfather, Tinubu over the weekend.
The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, who Saturday described the embattled national leader of the party as a leader and hardworking person, however maintained that Tinubu was responsible for his own misfortunes in the party, saying no one can be seeing himself as the indispensable where thousand of intellectuals operate.
According to the former Ekiti State governor, "Asiwaju might have been instrumental to the political breakthrough of some of us, he has the financial muscle, but we equally paid our dues without opportunity of negotiation. We have always been the "Yes Sir" types and we never complained. But we never expected him to think such can continue where development takes place. It is no news that whatever goes around comes around."
Fayemi urged the supporters of the President Buhari-led administration to remain steadfast and focused. He added that the present economic situation of the country was a result of some injurious pieces of advice given the presidency at the inception of this administration by some people he described as leaders without visions who had wanted to hijack the presidency before God's intervention.
He assured Nigerians that everything shall soon take formation and the country shall regain her strength again as the giant of Africa, adding that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu should not continue tearing the party and the country apart with his "golden silence" which he (Fayemi) said was destructive and well understood.
"Asiwaju's antics are not new to us. We can never underrate his political calculations and permutations. Yet, we cannot continue worshiping him. He deserves respect that we are giving but should stop making this country and our party ungovernable for our leaders. The steering is always meant for the driver and not in conjunction with the conductor.
"Once a political party is formed and a national leader is appointed or elected, other mini-leaders should be humble enough to respect the decisions of the constituted authority no matter what. Wherever there is no orderliness, there can never be progress, and we call ourselves the Progressives. We must be ready to live out our name as the Progressives.
"What happened in Ondo State during our primary that produced Chief Rotimi Akeredolu against the wishful calculation and permutation of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to impose Hon. Segun Abraham was a complete display of egocentric orientation by Asiwaju. No single man, I repeat, no single individual can override the decision of our political party. No more in APC!
"We have presented Akeredolu and we believe he is winning the governorship election by all means. Ondo people have supported our candidate and with the reactions of the people, he has the victory already. Our second coming to this state will be to inaugurate Chief Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) as the Governor of Ondo State, political anti-party and calculations of some disgruntled elements notwithstanding, because everything, I mean every arrangement is in order," Kayode Fayemi assured APC supporters.
