Those tipped to likely emerge are: Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi; Gboluga Ikengboju Dele; Hon. Benson Amuwa; Mrs. Banke Solton and Banji Okunomo, all from Ondo South senatorial district.The choice of a running mate from Ondo South, supposed stronghold of the PDP, is to strengthen his chances of winning the election.Jegede has been under pressure to pick Deputy Governor Ajayi as his running mate.
The pressure on Jegede over Ajayi was due to the ability of Ajayi to garner 657 votes despite defecting to the party one month to the primary.Jegede, who spoke in a radio programme in Akure, said the choice of his running mate would be determined by all the stakeholders, including PDP leaders after due consultations.
Ajayi is yet to make official statement on his next political move but has congratulated Jegede after stating he would remain with the PDP.
