The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo State has congratulated a former Deputy Governor of the state, Hon Agboola Ajayi, who emerged as its candidate in the November 16 Governorship Election at the primary held on Thursday.
In a statement titled “Ondo PDP congratulates Agboola Ajayi: It was family affair”, and signed by its state spokesman, Hon Kennedy Ikantu Peretei, the party said:
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ondo State Chapter wishes to congratulate His Excellency Agboola Ajayi on his emergence as the flag-bearer of the party for the forthcoming Governorship election in the State.
Our party also congratulates all other contestants who displayed a high sense of sportsmanship and decorum during and after the primary election. It was a family affair, which has demonstrated to the entire world that, the PDP is serious about its readiness to re-occupy the Alagbaka Government House, Akure.
The last seven years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the State have brought untold hardship and misery to the people. Hence, the time is now to send vendors of poverty out and bring back prosperity to our land.
Our party appreciates the Primary Election Committee under the Chairmanship of His Excellency, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State for conducting a credible, transparent, free, and fair primary election. There was no winner, nor vanquished. It was a victory for PDP and a victory for democracy in Ondo State.”
