Segun Oyebolu has won the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ticket for the November 16 Ondo State governorship election.

Mr Joseph Achille Abu, the chairman of the party’s governorship primary election committee, stated this at the end of the polls on Saturday.

Mr Achille said Mr Oyebolu scored 53 out of 64 votes in the primaries and emerged as the winner.

He said 64 delegates drawn from the state’s 18 local government areas (LGA) participated in the primaries.

Mr Achille expressed satisfaction with the turnout of party delegates across the state, saying the turnout was impressive and showed the party’s readiness to conquer the state at the election.

“SDP is determined to win the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State.

 “Our party is the only party that can rescue Ondo State from being a civil servant state to an industrial state,” he said.

 In his acceptance speech, Mr Oyebolu appreciated the party delegates’ confidence in him.

 “I promise to build a formidable campaign team that will dislodge the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) led government in the state and build a new Ondo State.

 “And I am also assuring our party’s leaders and people of the state that our administration will bring back the good old days of the state if elected as governor,” he said.
