Ekiti State PDP leaders have begged Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to halt attempts to reverse Wole Oluyede’s victory in the party’s governorship primary.
At a news conference at Ado-Ekiti at the party’s secretariat in the Ajilosun region, PDP leaders, including Deji Ogunsakin, Segun Adeola, Makanjuola Ogundipe, and Kola Oluwawole, reportedly made an appeal.
The leaders pleaded with Makinde and the national PDP leaders to stop the party’s adversaries’ planned attempts to overturn the people’s decision.
The leaders claim that Wole Oluyede is the candidate that the people have chosen, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) is aware that the party has chosen a reliable candidate.
The leaders declared, “We have chosen to win the Ekiti governorship election on June 20, 2026.”
“It’s enough. We don’t want the APC to purchase us at a low price. APC is aware that we have selected Dr. Wole Oluyede, the PDP primary winner, as a credible candidate who can win the 2026 election on our behalf.
“They are attempting to reverse the results in favor of a candidate who did not win the election.
“People have cast their votes, and they did so out of conscience. They cast their ballots for the candidate they trusted to lead the PDP to victory.
“Sen. Ibrahim Dankwabo, a former governor and former accountant general of the federation (AGF), conducted the election and announced the results in a calm and reliable manner.”
