I have decided not to challenge the victory of Rotimi Akeredolu – Eyitayo Jegede

Eyitayo Jegede

At last the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the just concluded election in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede has announced that he is not going to protest the result of the election as is being widely rumoured and expected by his supporters.

During a media chat with Vanguard, Jegede declared his acceptance of the outcome, thus upholding Rotimi Akeredolu’s victory who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in good faith and had moved on in the spirits of good sportsmanship.

Speaking further, he said, it was needless to engage in any legal tussle, because the people of Ondo State had chosen their preferred candidate at the polls.

Here is an excerpt of Jegede’s statement, “I have taken a decision to move on and I wish Governor Rotimi Akeredolu success, promising to release an official statement later in the day.

“I speak for myself. I believe that if I cannot serve the people of Ondo State now, another opportunity will come for me to do so at another time. I have a profession and I am returning to my law practice.


“There is always need to demonstrate true statesmanship and that is what I have done”
