According to the Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for Ondo State election, the flag-off signifies the end of what he describes as an era of darkness in the state, saying Ondo people will soon witness drastic changes in every sector.
Adeleke said that the APC administration has taken Ondo State several steps backward, and urged the people to reject APC at the poll.
“I must say that the era of darkness is over in Osun, and I welcome Ondo and the people of the state to light. Light illuminates and transforms, so we are here to celebrate the beginning of the transformation of Ondo,” he said.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who was also at the event, urged residents not to sell their votes as he called for the redeployment of the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Mrs. Toyin Babalola, before the November 16 governorship election to ensure the neutrality of the electoral umpire.
He also asked Ondo people to vote for the PDP Candidate, Agboola Ajayi, who “will bring about the desired change you have been yearning for. This is the beginning of a new dawn for PDP in Ondo State.
Don’t sell your votes, shun moneybags who want to buy your conscience. We must reflect on the hardship and pains of the last seven years as party members and vote for Agboola, the PDP candidate.
“We’ve seen what vote-buying and selling have led us to. If they come to you, don’t sell your votes. We cannot allow you to suffer for another four years in Ondo State. You can see the dividends of democracy in Oyo, Osun, and other PDP states in Nigeria.”
He charged the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to redeploy Babalola over alleged partisanship and affiliation with an interested party in the election.
“This message is for INEC National Chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, you must redeploy the Ondo REC, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Babalola. She is from Ondo State. We will protest until she is removed. Ondo REC must be redeployed. She was born here, her parents live here. She can never be fair in this election. We don’t want her in Ondo State, Babalola must leave. What they did in Edo will not succeed in Ondo. We will protest until she is removed. Bring another REC that will be fair, that will allow a level playing field. We as PDP aren’t afraid of any contest. Remove her or else, we will continue to protest.”… CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶▶
