The Director of Media and Publicity, Jegede Campaign Organisation, Zadok Akintoye, has dismissed a rumour that the Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, has concluded plans to join the Zenith Labour Party, saying Ajayi remains a valuable and respected member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Akintoye said, “We take note of the information being promoted and spread across social media patforms that HE. Barr. Agboola Ajayi, the incumbent Deputy Governor and Member of the PDP, has concluded plans to join the Zenith Labour Party.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Agboola Ajayi remains a valuable and respected member of the PDP and has not informed the party of his intention to leave and remains a committed member of the party.”
He said the clarification on the allegation had been sought from the Deputy Governor and assurances given to the leadership of the party of his intention to stay in the PDP.
Akintoye added, “We therefore implore all members of the party and the general public to disregard the information as H.E. has assured the party leaders and elders (on his honour) of not leaving.
“Our efforts at winning the next election remain ongoing and we are committed to removing the incumbent governor through a free and fair election.”
