27 October 2024

Ahead of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has declared that his party would take over the reign of governance in the state.

Onuesoke stated this in Akure while mobilizing the youths in the state to cast their votes for the PDP's candidate, Mr Agboola Ajayi. According to him, the people of the state are tired of the reign of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and have already made up their minds to vote out the ruling party come November 16.

He said: "The APC in Ondo State should forget about winning this coming election because PDP is set to take over the reign of leadership in the state.

Evidence abounds that the present governor of the state who is contesting for a second term had performed below expectation and the people are yearning for a change that will bring succour to them."

Onuesoke who disclosed that the PDP was still vibrant in Ondo State and poised to win the governorship election come November 16th disclosed that the PDP will prevail and Agboola Ajayi will be declared as the governor-elect.

"This is not based on anything but the choice of the people of the state. It's their wish and the people can feel it all around them," he declared.

The PDP chieftain who said he would be on the ground with his team to ensure a free and fair election in the state, assured the electorates that they would see better changes in education, healthcare and security when the PDP assumes office.

While appealing to the people to be law abiding and resist rigging, he called on the traditional rulers and leaders in the state to prevail on their subjects not to be involved in violence or in any act capable of causing crisis during the election.

"I implore you, don't sell your votes, this is the beginning of victory in Ondo State. It is a known fact that APC has brought hunger to this nation. This is the time to pay them back. This is the opportunity for you to change the narrative," he urged.
