Ahead of the November 26 governorship election, the Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has debunked the rumour that it has adopted a particular aspirant as its flag bearer for the polls.
The party maintained that it is yet to conduct its primary election to decide who will fly its flag.
In a statement by its publicity secretary, Banji Okunomo, on Sunday in Akure, the state capital, the PDP said the rumour is a figment of imagination and not emanating from the PDP secretariat.
There had been speculations that Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who is nearing completion of his two terms of eight years in office, openly adopted an Akure indigene, who is the Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) as his successor.
Aspirants for the governorship ticket of the PDP include Chief Sola Ebiseni, Senator Remi Okurinboye, Gbenga Elegbeleye, Prince Nekan-Olateru Olagbegi, Bamiduro Dada, Dare Emiola, Dayo Fadahunsi, Adedayo Omolafe, Dare Bada, Debo Ajimuda, and Benson Amuwa.
The decision by the governor to purportedly adopt Jegede might not be unconnected with the insistence by the Deji of Akure, Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo that an indigene of the town must become the next governor of the state, irrespective of which party’s platform he contests.
