Ondo PDP council chairmen kick as Jegede picks form

There was a mild drama yesterday at the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Secretariat in Akure, the state capital, as the party’s 10 local council chairmen walked out from an event, where the former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, collected his governorship nomination form.

Six of the PDP council chairmen are from the northern senatorial districts and the remaining four from the south.

They had been invited for a PDP stakeholders meeting by the state executives, only to discover that the meeting was organised for the collection of form by Jegede.
