  • Says APC will fall before PDP on October 10.

Over 82 artisan groups in Ondo State have thrown their weight behind the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) ahead of the State governorship election on October 10, 2020.

The endorsement took place at the PDP Secretariat on Tuesday at Alagbaka in Akure, Ondo State Capital.

The various artisan groups were led by their State President, Engr. Daisi Komolafe who said they were ready to work for Jegede and would vote massively for him and the PDP on October 10, 2020.

Faces at the event

Engr. Daisi said the artisans in Ondo State have seen the difference between a government-run by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and that of the PDP in Ondo State.

“We have seen the differences in the government-run by the PDP and that of the ruling APC in Ondo State. We have seen that the PDP government is people-oriented while the APC is self-centred”

”We influence the political direction in Ondo State to a very large extent and whoever we give our support to, will carry the day. We have over 200,000 voter cards and we are ready to use them to vote the PDP candidate on October,” Engr Daisi boasted.

Addressing the gathering, Mrs Bosede Daramola, a former NLC leader in the State, expressed the willingness and readiness of the groups to support the party’s candidate, saying that artisans have been relegated to the background in the last three and half years of the APC-led administration in Ondo State.

“Artisan groups have not had it so rough like this in the State. They have been thrown into hunger in the last three and half years of APC’s government, the people will no longer give APC any chance to rule Ondo State again. APC may gather but its gathering is not of God. It shall surely fall before PDP come October 10, 2020”, the outspoken former labour leader said.
