Judgement: Eyitayo Jegede Remains Our Standard Bearer In The November 26 Ondo Guber Election, Says PDP |PoliFocus

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has reacted to the ruling of an Abuja High Court that made a pronouncement that the business mogul, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim is the authentic candidate for the party as against Barrister Eyitayo Jegede that was presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


The party made this disclosure through a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye.

It reads: "The Ruling of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja today, Friday, October 14, 2016 does not in any way affect the matter of the PDP Candidacy in the forthcoming Ondo State Governorship Election.

The issue of Ondo Governorship was not thematter before Justice Abang in the Suit. The matter before his Lordship was in relation to the 2019 General Elections.

For the avoidance of doubt, Hon. Eyitayo Jegede remains the Flag Bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Saturday, November 26, 2016 Ondo State Governorship Election.

We therefore call on all our members, teeming supporters and the electorates in Ondo state not to allow this Ruling to distract them; but should continue with the Guber campaigns to ensure the victory of our flag bearer, Hon. Eyitayo Jegede in the election", it ended.
