We salute our Judiciary, the last hope of common man, for
enhancing our democracy, and rekindle our hope for better Nigeria
through the instrumentality of law by correcting the wrong done by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), where Mr. Eyitayo
Jegede was erroneously listed as PDP candidate in place of the rightful
person, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim (CFR).

As we have always been saying that as a political party and law

the people of Ondo State not to result in violence or any act capable of
undermining our integrity as citizens of Nigeria; but to always act in
the best interest of our people, our state, Ondo and dear country
Nigeria.
