The Deputy Governor of Ondo state, Ajayi Agboola has debunked rumours of dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP after losing the Gubernatorial ticket of the party.
Ajayi dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for PDP after a fallout with state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu. Below is a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Friday afternoon by Ajayi’s campaign team, signed by Director-General, Kola Ademujimi;
“On behalf of His Excellency, Hon Alfred Agboola Ajayi, Deputy Governor of Ondo State, we wish to thank all our supporters across the eighteen Local Government Areas of the State for an uncommon doggedness, commitment and excellent outing at the PDP Governorship Primaries on Wednesday, 22nd July 2020.”
“We also wish to appreciate and Commend our Principal, His Excellency, Agboola Ajayi for displaying maturity level-headedness on the face of provocation and campaign of calumny. He proved that he is a grassroots politician by polling 657 votes, coming second in a contest amongst seven other Aspirants, barely thirty days after rejoining the PDP. This is why commendations kept pouring in from the State and even from outside the State. It was a great performance, a great day for him and democracy.”
“We are equally using this medium to state unequivocally that, PDP remains our party and we, therefore, want all our supporters to remain loyal to the Party as we work towards the way forward.”
