Ahead of the governorship election in Ondo State, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Tola Alabere, has assured that the party is committed to rescuing the state from its current challenges if it emerges victorious at the polls.

During a one-day seminar organised for the media aides of PDP governorship aspirants in the state, Alabere urged party members to be united in order to present a formidable front against the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the buildup to the polls.

According to the chairman, unity within the party is paramount to achieving success at the polls.

He said, “All of us are working for the PDP. This is because if your principals are not members of the PDP, you won’t be here today.

“I must tell you that I don’t see the PDP as an opposition party in the state because we’re supposed to be in government.

“The roles all of you are playing today are not geared towards bringing the aspirants together. If aspirant “A” wins the primary, he will need the support and cooperation of other aspirants.

“But the moment you come in between your principal and other aspirants, will they be ready to support him when he wins? So, you have a major role to play in uniting the party.

“Conserve the energy you are putting into bringing down co-aspirants with your principal for the APC. You didn’t see anything wrong with what the APC is doing in Ondo State? We are more than the APC in Ondo State. I want to plead with you to see this project as yours.”
