No fewer than eleven (11) out of the seventeen (17 ) opposition political parties participating in the forthcoming guber election in Ondo State have collapsed their structures and governorship aspirations to support the PDP candidate, Eyitayo Jegede as their consensus candidate in the election.
The political parties include Accord, AA, ADP, AAC, APGA, and APM. Others are APP, NNPP, NRM, SDP, and the YPP.
Speaking on behalf of the eleven parties, the Chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ondo State Chapter, Prince Oladele Ogunbameru who disclosed this while addressing a press conference in Akure, the state capital, informed that the decision of the parties to collapse their structures for the PDP was made at a meeting held on Sunday, 4th October 2020 with the party leaders and top echelon of the PDP.
According to him, the opposition parties took the decision because they believe the good governance the people are yearning for can only be offered by the PDP.
He stressed that the collaboration is an organized effort to save Ondo State from the political quagmire and undesirable socioeconomic predicament of the good people of the State.
Also commenting on the development, the State Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Fatai Adams said the support from the political parties indicates the acceptability of Jegede, which shows that the party is winning the election.
