The former Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State, during Ex-Governor Olusegun Mimiko's administration, Jegede Eyitayo Olayinka, has won the Governorship Primary Election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Announcing the result after the keenly contested primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, who was the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and Returning Officer, said that "the exercise was peaceful, free and fair, and was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of our Party, the PDP".

Gov. Ugwuanyi disclosed that Jegede scored 888 votes to defeat his closest rival, Ajayi Alfred Agboola, who scored 657 votes.

Ajayi is the incumbent Deputy Governor of Ondo State.

The scores of other aspirants were as follows: Ayorinde Olabode Oluwasola (95 votes); Ebiseni Olusola Nehemiah (29 votes); Erewa Godday O. (14 votes); Kunlere Boluwaji (33 votes); Okunomo Benjamin Adebanji (90 votes) and Olafeso Eddy Eniola (175 votes).

Gov. Ugwuanyi, who conducted the election with his colleague from Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Adamu Umaru Fintiri and other members of the Electoral Committee, appreciated the aspirants and delegates for their comportment and commitment to the success of the exercise.

He therefore urged all the aspirants to close ranks and work for the victory of the PDP, in the forthcoming Governorship Election in Ondo State.

"By the powers conferred on me as the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and Returning Officer for this exercise, I announce that Jegede Eyitayo Olayinka, having scored the highest votes cast and met all the requirements of our Party’s guidelines for the conduct of this election, is hereby declared winner of the PDP Governorship Primary Election in Ondo State, and is returned elected".

He also commended members of the Electoral Committee of the PDP led by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for "a very transparent exercise".

What does this mean for Aketi?

BabaRamota1980:
What does this mean for Aketi?

They are both lawyers

888?
Eyitayo Jegede must have consulted a Numerologist before the election.

He scored 888...some spiritual beings would have been wishing to see 666, let them begin with conspiracy theories that the Antichrist has taken over, and that we are in the end time. Meanwhile Ajayi may be on his way to KOWA, where he will be likely unopposed . PDP guys are really smart, they have collected their monies for sales of forms, and it's non refundable .

Its better for the party.

I love this...congrats bro

Nice one

So na so Ajayi Agboola take loose APC and PDP, he thought edo what happen in edo will happen in ONDO.

Congratulations to the winner. PDP has a better chance with Eyitayo.

This is better for PDP, gives them a fighting chance with APC. But Aketi for 2nd term, Ondo is not Edo. �����

See Ajayi life now

Ajayi Agboola was just doing shakara....This is how it should be not that somebody will just cross from one party less than a month to party pry election and get the party ticket.

Metaphysical if you want a yoruba first lady, this is your chance to vote PDP power to the people

People quoting me should know I'm Igbo. One metaphysical said that yorubas should only vote yoruba first ladies....so I'm just saying now is your chance. Choose between your APC 2023 project and your hate for Igbos and PDP

I told him on twitter to support the incumbent to complete his 2 terms in office but he won't hear.

Ajayi right now...

Who will Ibo support now

So what happened to Betty? Because she's igbo we shouldn't vote for Aketi? So far she's married to an Ondo state indigen, that makes her an indigen of Ondo state.

This your way of thinking is one of the reasons Nigeria is a mess today. Looking at tribe and religion first before competence and developmental achievements.

Good for him. He has put those tax collectors to shame. Money can not buy everything

This man is a poor sell for PDP

You can't cheat life, the rebel Ajayi is now humbled and will now have to join the line from the back until he learns loyalty. What a man

Hope he is a grass root politician and a well known person in the state. Not because of election that makes him to visit ondo to try his luck

The end of road for the deputy governor.

That's true politics...not the situation where candidature is given to the highest bidder, like the case of Edo PDP and Obaseki.
