Some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in Ondo have rejected the running mate chosen by its flagbearer, Eyitayo Jegede, ahead of the governorship election in the state. After his victory at the PDP primary, Jegede chose Gboluga Ikengboju, a member of the House of Representatives, to the dismay of party chieftains in the state. The PDP bigwigs in Ondo accused the flagbearer of refusing to accept all the names given to him as suggestions for him to choose from because they are not among his caucus.

The leaders believe that the choice of a running mate is crucial and capable of negatively influencing the outcome of the election for the party and could cause an internal crisis if the right decision is not made. One of the PDP stalwarts who kicked against Jegede's choice was Godday Erewa, an aspirant in the primary, who said that Jegede's position "is generating palpable tension and disenchantment and if not properly managed, the consequences would be immensely catastrophic.” Supporting Erewa's view, a former local government chairman in Okitipupa, Solomon Bitire, said Jegede has been on a vengeance mission since his emergence as the party's candidate.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Jegede was facing the tough hurdle of uniting factions in the PDP before the forthcoming election.

Members of the party's national working committee did not attend the event, which is usually marked with celebrations.
