Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State, Mr Eyitayo Jegede has said that he is still studying the outcome of the election.
“It is too early to decide on what to do as a person. My party, the PDP will decide what to do. We are still consulting with those that matter so as to know the next line of action,” Jegede said on Sunday.
In his reaction to the results of the election that produced Mr Rotimi Akeredolu as the winner, Jegede said “I know we have won the heart of the people and I should thank our people for standing by us and for their show of love and their steadfastness.”
‘We are studying the situation and in the fullness of time you will know what the position of the party is,’ he added.
He stated that “the events that led to the election are known to you and I. We had 48 hours to prepare for the election. I was cleared by the court on Wednesday and had only Thursday to campaign and on Saturday I had to go for election.
“Our request for postponement of election was denied by INEC for reasons that we are yet to fathom and these are the things in the next few days we will have to review,” Jegede said
The state Chairman of the PDP, Mr Clement Faboyede while reacting to the results of the election said the party will meet tomorrow with all the stakeholders and our decision will be made public.
“We thank God for the litigation processes and for the way we came out victorious and our heart desire candidate for PDP was cleared to contest the election few days to the election when there was no time for campaign.”
