Factional candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State on Friday said he would emerge Governor of the state regardless of oppositions against him.
Jegede said this in a statement on Friday, stating that he has the support of the people of the state.
Recall that Jegede had approached the Appeal Court to upturn a ruling by Justice Abang directing INEC to substitute his name for that of Jimoh Ibrahim of the Ali Modu Sheriff faction.
Jegede said,“I remain indebted to the wonderful people of Ondo state who have always remained steadfast with us knowing fully well that this is one project that will succeed no matter the volume of opposition from any quarters.
“I again reiterate that I am absolutely committed to the rule of law, I have submitted my grievances to the courts and despite the contrivance and manipulation by those who are opposed to democracy, we have been vindicated at the first step and God willing we will continue to trudge on.
“There is no looking back, we are here because we have the interest of the people at heart.”
