The PDP candidate while appreciating the leaders said ” our leaders in the Southwest have really shown leadership, they are leading the way and we are following.
“They have shown massive surport, especially the two South west governors. Their support have been tremendous towards the forthcoming election in Ondo. Our leaders at the National level too have shown tremendous support. “To the glory of God,
PDP family in Ondo is one and that’s obvious with the attendance at the stakeholders meeting. I am positive that the Alagbaka government house is for us to occupy in November because with this unified house, our victory is sure”
Shedding light on the reason for the Ibadan Monday meeting, governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke said the meeting was basically to
” congratulate our candidate in the approaching governorship election in Ondo state and deliberate on PDP affair in the state.
“The primary election went well and PDP was able to showcase it’s democratic nature to the people. “The meeting also kicked started a reconciliatory move, to unite people who may be aggrieved following the outcome of the primary election and we have achieved so much in that direction in the course of the meeting. Now our leader and former governor of Ondo State , Dr Olusegun Mimiko and other leaders of the state, on getting back home, will meet with everybody and later invite me and my brother , Governor Seyi Makinde to Akure and see how to forge ahead from there to ensure we win the November election”

“We have spoken as one family and our candidate has been able to key into that process.
“People should expect a very strong showing from the PDP. To the glory of God, since this kind of meeting could hold, and our south west leaders are staying behind our candidate in Ondo State, it’s a very strong signal to the present occupier of the Ondo state government house.
