November 27, 2016

Mr. Jegede said his full reaction over the conduct of the election and the victory of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Rotimi Akeredolu would soon be made public.

Eyitayo Jegede, the recognized candidate of the crisis-ridden Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Saturday’s Ondo State gubernatorial race, said on Sunday that he was still studying the results of the election.

Mr. Jegede said his full reaction over the conduct of the election and the victory of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Rotimi Akeredolu would soon be made public.

“I should thank our people for their steadfastness. We are studying the situation and very soon you will know my position and my party’s position.

“You all know the event that led to the election. We were in court, I got judgment 48 hours to the election, our request for postponement was turned down for reasons not known to us,” Mr. Jegede said.

Earlier, PDP publicity secretary Ayo Fadaka alleged that the APC bribed citizens with cash in exchange for their votes.
