Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State have begged Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, to halt attempts to reverse Wole Oluyede’s victory in the party’s governorship primary.
PDP leaders, including Deji Ogunsakin, Segun Adeola, Makanjuola Ogundipe, and Kola Oluwawole, reportedly made an appeal during a news conference at the party’s secretariat in the Ajilosun neighborhood of Ado-Ekiti.
The leaders pleaded with Makinde and the national PDP leaders to stop the party’s adversaries’ planned attempts to reverse the electorate’s decision.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is aware that the party has chosen a respectable candidate, and the leaders claim that Wole Oluyede is the choice of the people.
“We have decided to win the 2026 June 20 Ekiti governorship election,” the leaders said.
“Enough is sufficient. We do not want anybody to sell us cheaply to the APC. APC is aware that we have selected Dr. Wole Oluyede, the PDP primary winner, as a reliable candidate who can win the 2026 election on our behalf.
“They are attempting to change the results to support a candidate who was rejected at the polls.
“Voters cast their ballots based on their moral convictions. They cast their votes for the candidate they thought would help the PDP win.
“In a calm and credible environment, the election was held, and Sen. Ibrahim Dankwabo, former governor and former accountant general of the federation (AGF), announced the results.”
