The
Ondo State gubernatorial race may not be ending in the court of law as
anticipated by political analysts, as the top contenders of the
election, Eyitayo Jegede of the People's Democratic Party and Chief
Olusola Oke of the Alliance for Democracy have both conceded defeat.
Eyitayo Jegede
People's Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate, Eyitayo Jegede
SAN has accepted the outcome of the November 26 governorship election.
He has therefore congratulated the gubernatorial candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Rotimi Akeredolu who emerged winner.
It would be recalled that there were earlier indications that Mr.
Jegede could be challenging the results in court following an alleged
lack of level playing ground set by the Federal Government and the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Read his emotional concession speech below:
"My dear people of Ondo State, my name is Eyitayo Jegede SAN,
the governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party candidate in
the recently concluded election in our dear state.
"Though the outcome of the election is not what we expected, It
is time to show gratitude. To all those who voted for us I say thank
you. To all those who voted for other candidates, I also say thank you
because you are part of the democratic experience.
"To my dear friend and brother, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, I say congratulations to you and I wish you the best.
"God bless you. Thank you."
