Twenty-four hours before the Ondo state governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba has announced Senator Ewhrudjakpo Oborawhartevwo as the Chairman of the Electoral Committee. The exercise is scheduled to hold on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at the International Culture and Event Centre, The Dome, Akure, the Ondo State capital.
Ologunagba also listed other members of the committee to include Oluwole Busayo Oke, Muktar Ahmed and Hassana Diko.
Other members are John Mathew, Nnena Ikondon and Dare Adeleke who will serve as the committee’s Secretary.
Ologunagba said: “The National Working Committee (NWC) of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of our Party, has appointed the following underlisted members of our Party to serve on the Ondo State Governorship Primary Electoral Committee to conduct the Governorship Primary Election for the purpose of nominating the Candidate of our great Party for the upcoming Governorship Election in Ondo State.”
