Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), a two-time candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, has announced his withdrawal from the forthcoming 2024 governorship election.

Jegede, who was the PDP candidate in the 2016 and 2020 elections, respectively, noted that he was committed to making all necessary sacrifices to provide solutions to the party’s problems rather than compounding them.

Speaking in Akure, the state capital, while addressing his teeming supporters across the state’s 18 local government areas, the PDP chieftain said he was more committed to ensuring the party’s victory at the poll.

His words: “After several intensive and extensive consultations, consolidations, and reconsiderations, it became obvious that we need to reexamine whether to proceed or take a detour that could guarantee an alignment with the preponderance of opinion in terms of the quest for equitable representation, equity, and fair play particularly at the level of governorship.


“Our party constitution is not receptive to zoning, and this has been demonstrated through the election of successive Governors; the elections were not based on zoning but on merit.

“The event of today has become expedient in the face of the upcoming potential activities in our state and the party. A decision has to be taken whether we need to repeat the same process that we passed through in 2016 and 2020.

“We have an array of governorship aspirants who are competent and distinguished in their various callings; we also have those who have shown exceptional qualities, including consistency and unalloyed loyalty to the party.

“I feel it is time to allow these men the opportunity to try their luck in the primary and, by God’s grace, ultimately win the governorship election; all the aspirants would be accorded every support that is available at my disposal.”

Kai, this automatically translates that I will not be supporting anyone in this year's election.

iamtardey:
I dey wait when Ajayi borrofice wan do governor 😂😂😂😂😂 that one stingy die …. Useless people altogether

I think Boroffice is from Akoko part of Ondo State. Maybe in the next 5years Sha

I will be supporting this young , purposeful guy , John Akinmurele aka St. John pending who the party eventually picks . Only if PDP picks a credible replacement of Eyitayo will I support PDP. Otherwise na my guy in APC be that.

So after all you are just visionless man withou honor.

Jegedes decision to withdraw from the Ondo governorship race reflects his commitment to the PDP and ensuring the partys success, as well as his recognition of the need for equitable representation and fair play in the upcoming election.
