Members of the Okunomo campaign organisation have on Thursday ordered all its members to refrain from joining forces with all political activities which relate to Eyitayo Jegede and his gubernatorial ambition till further notice.
In the communique issued after an enlarged meeting of Okunomo campaign organisation at Okitipupa, a vote of no confidence was passed on Jegede.
The PDP members said they observed with displeasure the overbearing political “modus-operandi” of Jegede since he emerged as the PDP candidate which they said demonstrated obvious display of dictatorship.
They accused Jegede of manipulating the PDP structure to favour his political camp at the expense of others “winner takes all fashion”.
The communique states: “The BBO executive session views with emphatic disapproval and absolute sense of rejection the undemocratic and unpopular dimension in which Barr. Eyitayo Jegede chose to foist the nomination of Hon. Ikengboju Gboluga a serving Member of the House of Representatives representing Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency on the PDP as his running mate and Deputy Governorship Candidate in stiff defiance to all wise counsels to the contrary portraying him as a rigidly conservative person that will always override superior majority view.

“The previous recommendation by the PDP leadership including ELDERS COUNCIL and Party leaders to the effect that Mr Eyitayo should drop the idea of Mr Ikengboju Gboluga and pick from the list of names of those the Party found most suitable to foster the bond of unison and reconciliation needed to guarantee Landslide victory for the PDP in the forthcoming gubernatorial duel scheduled for 10th October 2020 was utterly jettisoned by the Party’s flag bearer.
” The BBO Campaign Organization hereby wishes to profoundly affirm our decision to remain resolute against anti-people and undemocratic tendencies threatening the core values of our party with heavy cost on the winning chances of the PDP in Ondo State in respect of the coming Governorship election.”
