The chairman of the seven-man Primary Election Committee for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state and deputy governor of Bayelsa state, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, has said that the party would win the November governorship election.
Ewhrudjakpo said he conducted the PDP primary in Osun state and the party won the election.
He said the aspirants had assured him that they would agree to work together for whoever emerged as the party’s candidate.
He noted: “We expect about 627 delegates for the election and we are all set. All members of the panel are here. The accreditation has started. So, we are prepared and the aspirants are in high spirits and they have assured me that they would agree to work together for whoever emerges as the candidate.
“The problem of our party is how to get the power back from the APC that had been taken power from us for the past eight years.
“We expect a very transparent, free, fair, credible and rancor-free election and I have gotten the commitment of all the aspirants that they would abide by the outcome and we are going to make it as transparent as possible.
“You may be aware of my record that I was the one who conducted the primaries in Osun state and we won in Osun and I’m here again to conduct the Ondo state and by the grace of God, we are going to win because the sun of the last year is still the same of this year, so the rain will fall and the farmers would have a good harvest.”
