Ondo Guber: I’ll Unseat Akeredolu If… – Jegede

AKURE – Eyitayo Jegede, one of the governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, declared on Saturday that he was set to win the October 10, 2020 governorship election if given the ticket by his party.

The standard bearer of PDP in the 2016 governorship election stated this at a meeting with some of the party’s leaders across the 18 local government areas of the state.

Emphasising his readiness to win the election, Jegede said: “I am now an experienced sailor. If I am not ready, I will not say I am ready.

“We’ve gone through training and we understand the game more. Over and above all, God has said go ahead, I will be with you. “Now we are going to win.

God has helped us to put this party together since 2016 when we lost the election. It is because we stayed back in the party to build the house and make it attractive to those who want to come to the party now.

“But we must recognise those who worked to put this party together since 2016 and ensured that the house didn’t collapse.”

Jegede noted that he had worked and still working for the development of the party both at the national and the state levels, adding that he had paid his dues in PDP. According to him, “This one we are embarking on is God’s own project and we are going to succeed. God has empowered us and we have worked for this party both at the national and the state levels.

“I am not in the race because I want to be a candidate. We are beyond that. That didn’t freak us again. I want to be a governor and I am prepared for the task ahead. We are talking about competence here not any sentiments.”
