The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday inaugurated a 533-man Presidential Campaign Council for the party.
The council comprised many chieftains of the party, notably, a former Ambassador to the Central African Republic, Roland Omowa, a former National Vice Chairman of the PDP (South-West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, a former chairman of the party in the state, Dr Tayo Dairo, a former governorship candidate of the party, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, among others. Omowa was appointed as the chairman of the council.
Speaking at the inauguration of the committee, the state Chairman of the party, Mr Fatai Adams emphasised, “Besides the three principal officers of the campaign council, another 530 persons were also selected and inaugurated, cutting across all the wards in the state,” the chairman explained.
Addressing the 530 members of the campaign council, Olafeso, who is the Director-General of the council, stated that the party adopted the measure to rescue Nigerians.
“It is a must-win election because of the state of this nation. Atiku has dedicated his life to making life easy for Nigerians. We must convince the people, to see a better future for Nigeria rather than for ourselves,” Olufeso said.
In his address, Jegede expressed confidence that PDP would repeat the 2019 feat in the state when the party won the presidential election in the state.
He said, “We are going to do better than what we did in 2019. This is a winning team. We are all generals in this war. Let us go and work as one.”
The suffering is too great in the land. By the grace of God, we shall send them away. If you vote for Atiku, he will need the support of those in the National Assembly. So, let’s vote for all the candidates of PDP.”
