FALLING

AS the Court of Appeal delivers judgement on the authentic candidate of the PDP today, the Ahmed Makarfi faction of the party has called on its members and supporters to intensify their campaigns and promotion of the Eyitayo Jegede/ John Mafo agenda.

The justice Ibrahim Salauwa-led panel at the Court of Appeal will rule today on who should fly the PDP flag between Jimoh Ibrahim and Eyitayo Jegede.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Banji Okunomo said this is the appropriate time for members of the party to propagate the Eyi/Mafo agenda more vigorously as the November 26 election draws near.
He called on members to engage in house to house, unit to unit, ward to ward and local government to local government campaigns so that more people would come into the fold.
Okuomo said that the party faithful have nothing to fear as the PDP’s authentic governorship candidate (Jegede)  would soon find his name back on the INEC’s  list.
The party also condemned what it described as a stage-managed protest by some paid employees of the PDP candidate, Jimoh Ibrahim,  outside the premises of the court of appeal
“We have noticed with great concern some barbaric moves by some rented group of persons carrying placards bearing ‘Sherrif is our chairman’ outside the premises of the Court of Appeal.
In clear terms, these placard carrying people are neither members of the PDP in Ondo State nor any part of the country. They are, rather, paid protesters drawn from Abuja suburb who are employed by Jimoh Ibrahim of the Sherrif faction to cultivate public sentiments and pass around wrong signals,’’ Okunomo said and expressed optimism that no amount of intimidation should derail the court.
