- Fidelis David in Akure

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Tola Alabere, and the former National Vice Chairman (South West), Dr. Eddy Olafeso, have expressed confidence that the party will win the November 16 governorsh­ip election in the state.

They stated this yesterday in Akure, the state capital, at a one-day seminar organised for media aides of PDP governorsh­ip aspirants in the state ahead of the election.

Specifical­ly, Olafeso said the party is re-strategisi­ng for the primary slated for April 25 and the major election in November.

According to him, “With the future we have shared together in PDP, no matter the challenges we are facing at this moment, we are very sure and confident that the future will be better and that PDP will take back power and connect to do what it did in the past to develop Ondo State and Nigeria. I am very confident that we will return.”

When asked what the party was doing to address the internal crisis bedeviling the party in the state, Olafeso said: “Part of what we are doing this moment started with an internal process of communicat­ion with ourselves and once we get that one right, once we understand our history, once we understand the fact that we need one another and that if we are not united, there will be problem ahead of us.

“We are sure that the future will take care of itself and we are very resolute, and beside that, the future of Nigeria, especially the current situation that Nigerians are facing under APC, can’t continue forever.”

The PDP chieftain emphasised that the party is the only solution to the insecurity, hunger and infrastruc­tural problems in the coastal state.
