Ondo 2020: ZLP speaks on adoption of deputy governor as candidate

PDP insists Agboola Ajayi is still its member

The Zenith Labour Party has finally opened up on the adoption of Ondo State’s deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, as its governorship candidate for the October 10, 2020 governorship election.

Following his defeat in the PDP primary election, Mr Ajayi had promised to stay in the party and help it defeat the incumbent APC Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. He said the party was fine tuning the details of Mr Ajayi’s adoption and the substitution of the earlier candidate, Rotimi Benjamin, who was picked at the party primaries and whose name has been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Mr Agboola Ajayi remains a member of the PDP and has not informed the party of his intention to leave and remains a well valued and respected member of the party,” the statement said. “The deal is almost concluded. He will be coming into the party as our gubernatorial candidate for the October 10, 2020 governorship election,” said Mr Felix.
