The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council for Ondo Governorship Election, has condemned the attack on its candidate, Eyitayo Jegede in Oba- Akoko on Wednesday.
Addressing a press Conference in Abuja,the Chairman, Publicity Sub-Committee of the Council, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, said the attack was because the opposition was agitated by Eyitayo Jegede’s soaring rating as well as the warm reception he had been receiving from leaders and groups across the state.
“Our campaign appreciates the courage displayed by the people of Ondo state in resisting the assailants and defending our candidate.”
“Indeed, but for the intervention of the good people of Ondo state, who immediately came out to defend our candidate, the situation would have been worse.”
