Ondo Election: PDP Denies Alliance With ZLP

Ondo State PDP, through its Publicity Secretary Kennedy Peretei, in a statement made available to journalists in Akure, stated that the rumor is a typical tale by the moonlight, he also noted that such a story is always peculiar to the election period.

Peretei through the statement said: “For the avoidance of doubt, we will like to declare to the whole world that the PDP has never sat down anywhere with anybody in the ZLP  to discuss any merger plan, much less perceive any move or begging to make its governorship candidate step down.
“This is another typical tale by the moonlight, often told during the election period.
“How on earth can the duly elected governorship candidate of the PDP, the biggest political party in Africa, step down for the candidate of a bedroom political party, formed in the heat of political harlotry? God forbid. Peretei said.
Peretei also urged the people of the state not to be distracted by any form of rumors to cause confusion in their minds, “having resolved to vote for Jegede in October 10 election.”
He declared that there was no attempt at any time by the party to meet with ZLP to strike any alliance so that the PDP standard-bearer would step down for the ZLP gubernatorial candidate, describing the report as laughable in its entirety and remained a concocted lie.
