The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has presented the Certificate of Return to former Ondo State Deputy, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, who won the party’s governorship primary election in Ondo State.
While presenting the certificate to Agboola at an event at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, PDP National Chairman Umar Damagum praised the electoral committee, led by Bayelsa Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakp, for conducting a rancour-free poll.
In his acceptance speech, the former deputy governor described his emergence as an opportunity for all PDP members to unite and chart a new course for the state.
He said “The forthcoming November 16th Governorship election, presents us a unique opportunity to bring about real and sustainable development for the people of Ondo and the PDP, as the largest political party in Africa, is positioned to lead this transformational change.
“The challenges we face, from poverty to unemployment, insecurity and economic hardship require urgent and decisive action. We cannot afford to dwell on past mistakes or divisive rhetoric. Instead, we must focus on uniting to provide solutions that prioritize the well-being of our people and communities.
“Our vision for Ondo State is one of Growth, Opportunity, and Equity. We envision a state where every child has access to quality education, where healthcare is affordable and accessible, and where infrastructure supports economic growth and connectivity.
“I am committed to working tirelessly, in collaboration with all stakeholders and the good people of Ondo State, to deliver on our promises and bring about positive change. I believe in the power of unity, dialogue, and inclusivity to overcome obstacles and forge a path towards progress”.
