“PDP and APC are dead in Ondo South. We can postpone burial ceremony, but you cannot wake up the dead political parties.”
Okunomo, in his remark said he resigned his membership of the PDP to join the ZLP also known as third force ahead of the Ondo State governorship election on October 10, 2020 in order to rescue the people from the misrule of Akeredolu’s family.
His words:
“I contested with Ajayi in PDP. He was the newest in the PDP race and came second. He contested within three weeks. The youths have the opportunity now to elect one of us.
“We don’t want someone who will increase the school fees. We don’t want a governor who will make life difficult for the people of Ondo State.
“The PDP made the mistake of 2016 by presenting a candidate from a wrong zone. The PDP lost in 2016 and will lose in this election because it failed to look at the local content of zoning.
Mr Banji Okunomo, former chairman of the local government who said he will take 15,000 members with him, Mr Solomon Bitire and hundreds others, defected from the opposition parties recently.
