The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Mr Eyitayo Jegede, has picked Hon. Gboluga Ikengboju as his running mate in the governorship election in Ondo State.

Jegede announced this via his Twitter handle on Monday.

He said, “In the task of rebuilding the confidence of our people in their government and in restoring hope for a better life under a PDP administration in Ondo State, and following extensive consultations with leaders of our party I am pleased, to announce that Honourable Gboluga Ikengboju will be working with me in seeking your mandate in the October 10, 2020 governorship election.

“We will also work with other notable leaders of our great party in different capacities. In this regard, we salute the commitment, conviction, support, and understanding of all the aspirants and other leaders of our party.”

Mr Ikengboju represents Irele/Okitipupa constituency in the House of Representatives, where he doubles as the Deputy Chairman in the House committee on delegated legislation.

He hails from Ikengboju of Ilutitun in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The Ondo governorship election holds on October 10, 2020.

Before settling for Ikengboju, Jegede had to battle the PDP hierarchy in the state to reject candidates who contested with him in the party’s primaries including Ondo Deputy Governor, Mr. Agboola Ajayi who has now defected to the ZLP.
