Mr. Jegede, a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State was the factional candidate of the PDP in the state under the factional National Chairman, Ahmed Makarafi.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday confirmed Eyitayo Jegede as the "authentic candidate" of the crisis ridden Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state ahead of the governorship election slated for November 26th 2016.


The Commission subsequently went ahead and published Mr. Jegede's name as the Candidate of the ruling party despite a factional crisis rocking the State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The electoral body, however, dropped the name of Jimoh Ibrahim who has also been parading himself as the recognized governorship Candidate of the PDP in the same state.

Mr. Ibrahim, a controversial businessman was the factional candidate of the party under the control of the embattled factional PDP Chairman, Alimodu Sheriff.

The people of Ondo State are yearning for a change,and the APC is riding into Town to make those progressive developments in Ondo State.

Attention: wailers/ipob Yoots please desist from conducting online poll for Ondo gubernatorial election to avoid double jeopardy ailment. For once beaten,twice shy

What?

EYI lafe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are not weaklings in Ondo, we stand by our votes & no wait till tomoro collation here just like some state.... Akeredolu is our regular customer (Customer Daadani) and we shall prove it once again.......

The main deal are the candidate of PDP and that of APC the rest are just there to crave niche for themselves.... By the way where is KOWA party on that list.

What we want is peaceful, free and fair election. Whoever wins from it, should be supported to succeed.

Na lie o....U people should not listen to INEC oooo....na me gangan be the recognised candidate

Y

Edo wasn't a litmus test for the APC because it is an APC controlled state.

Until APC win Rivers or PDP win Lagos then I will commend the party.

All I ask for is a reasonably free and fair election. Every interest should collapse and queue behind the winner irrespective of the party. We have to look at the individuals that are contesting rather than the party. Amaechi performance was good as a PDP governor, TA Orji is the opposite.

Apc got nuffin on Ondo state.

what wil now happen to mr.jimoh

Lolz, please Quote me after the general election :The way the name EYITAYO is gathering pace here is astounding plus Aketi can only win in Owo which is he's stronghold, and i can't see the Akokos freely voting him either, so tell me which other local govt can Aketi win if you are honest with yourself, and to cap it all mimiko is no full.
