Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is also the Chairman of the National Campaign Council for the People’s Democratic Party in the Ondo State governorship election, has revealed that he has shared the campaign strategy he used to win in Osun State with the party’s candidate, Hon Agboola Ajayi.
Adeleke made this statement during the inauguration of the state campaign council of the party in Akure, the state capital. He said, “Before we came to government, they said we could not perform in Osun State; go back to the state now. What the APC could not achieve in 12 years, we have achieved under one and half years which shows that we are more progressive than any other party in Nigeria.”
The governor emphasized that the power to decide the outcome of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State rests solely with the people of Ondo.
“The ultimate deciders of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State are the people who will determine the electoral fate of the candidates vying for the governorship seat,” he said.
Adeleke urged party members to focus on issues-based campaigning and avoid thuggery. “There should be no thuggery. We will base our campaign on issues. The people will decide. Go back to your constituencies and preach the gospel of PDP to the people.”
He expressed confidence in the ability of the PDP to win the election, stating that the party is the only progressive party in the country. “I tell you Imole (light) is here, and I am here to light my brother’s path to victory; I have told Governor Aiyedatiwa that I am here in Ondo State to drive my party to victory and that Alagbaka is for PDP as from next year February.”
Responding, the governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi, thanked Governor Adeleke for his support and leadership. Ajayi assured that “Ondo PDP is determined more than ever before to take over Alagbaka next year and that no stone would be left unturned to bring victory for the Party.”
