The Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi, has said he cannot be intimidated by the actions of the ruling party.
Agboola Ajayi said intimidation of PDP supporters cannot guarantee the victory of the current administration led by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Ajayi stated this on Monday at the party’s Secretariat, in Akure during a meeting organized by the youth leaders of the party.
He said, “We have seen signals, we have seen their plans and we are not scared of any intimidation because this is our state, what is going to happen is that people will go out and vote, we are not scared of anybody. Once our people conduct themselves in a peaceful manner, you can’t take away their rights to vote for whoever they want to vote for.
“I have always advised them that they must not allow any reflection to frustrate them and they must conquer poverty and they will do that by their votes. We have prepared for them and we are ready for them, we would resist any act of intimidation by any opposition in this state. Forget about the power of any incumbency, the power of masses is more than any incumbency power.”
The former deputy governor of Ondo State said he was committed to addressing poverty in the state. He disclosed that his campaign strategy would focus on local governments in the state.
Ajayi enjoined Ondo voters to vote for him on November 16 to ensure a better future for their children.
“I have conquered poverty at the age of 22 years and there is nothing special about me than you people of this state. Don’t allow any reflection to affect us. We should be able to take over this state from its present government. I want to plead with you people to vote for PDP, let us do the right thing so that we can have a best future for our children in this state.
“The PDP campaign this time around will turn around all the local government areas of the state for us to win, people are anxiously waiting for PDP. Don’t be intimidated, we owned this state together. Go out on November 16 to vote for PDP and make sure your vote is counted,” Arise TV quoted him.
