There are indications that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may likely impose the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, as the running mate of the party governorship candidate, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, for the October 10, 2020 poll. Tribune Online gathered that imposing Ajayi as Jegede’s running mate was part of the strategies of the party by the party leadership to stop Ajayi from dumping the party for the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). Governor Akeredolu was in Lagos recently to introduce his running mate, Lucky Aiyedatiwa to one of his erstwhile political antagonists, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. “We must commend some of our party leaders, particularly some PDP governors and NWC members for their frantic efforts to stop Ajayi from dumping the PDP before the October election.
