Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State have begged Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to halt efforts to reverse Wole Oluyede’s victory in the party’s governorship primary.
PDP leaders, including Deji Ogunsakin, Segun Adeola, Makanjuola Ogundipe, and Kola Oluwawole, reportedly made an appeal during a news conference at the party’s secretariat in the Ajilosun neighborhood of Ado-Ekiti.
The leaders pleaded with Makinde and the national PDP leaders to stop the party’s adversaries’ planned actions to reverse the people’s decision.
The leaders claim that Wole Oluyede is the choice of the people, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) is aware that the party has chosen a reliable candidate.
“We have decided to win the Ekiti governorship election in 2026 on June 20,” declared the leaders.
“There is enough. We don’t want to be cheaply sold to the APC. APC is aware that we have selected Dr. Wole Oluyede, who won the PDP primary, as a credible candidate who can represent us in the 2026 election.
“They are attempting to reverse the results in favor of a candidate who was rejected at the polls.
“The people cast their ballots based on their moral convictions. They cast their votes for the candidate they thought would help the PDP win the election.
“Sen. Ibrahim Dankwabo, a former governor and former accountant general of the federation (AGF), conducted the election and announced the results in a calm and reliable environment.”
