A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede, says he’s confident of emerging victorious in the primary scheduled for Wednesday.
He also said his ambition was not threatened by any aspirant of the party, including Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi.
Speaking in Akure on Monday, Jegede expressed confidence that no one, including Ajayi, who just defected to the PDP from the All Progressives Congress to join the governorship race, could stop his victory in the primary.
He boasted that he’s in control of party loyalists in all the 18 local government areas of the state, having contested the governorship election on the platform of the party in 2016.
“I contested against his boss, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu in 2016 and I came second. I and his boss are those who contested in 2016. If Akeredolu was not a threat to me in 2016, his deputy cannot be a threat to me or my ambition in 2020,” he said.
The aspirant, who noted that his credentials were intimidating and good enough to speak for him, also expressed confidence that the PDP will win the governorship election come October 10.
