“Cracks in Confidence: PDP’s Ondo Candidate Already Considering Defeat as APC’s Momentum Surges Ahead of Election Day”
In a surprising turn of events, PDP governorship candidate Hon. Agboola Ajayi appears to be conceding defeat even before the Ondo governorship election on November 16, 2024. Sources close to the campaign indicate that Ajayi, who was once vocal and energetic about his candidacy, has expressed doubt about his chances following the powerful show of support witnessed at the APC’s mega rally on November 13.
According to insiders, the overwhelming turnout and energy displayed at the rally, attended by a broad spectrum of influential APC leaders and thousands of enthusiastic supporters, have prompted Ajayi to question his campaign’s standing. The PDP candidate reportedly confided to close associates that the scale and impact of the rally underscored the APC’s stronghold in Ondo, leaving him concerned about his own campaign’s ability to mount a comparable mobilization.
Ajayi’s recent statements and actions have seemingly softened in tone, with a noticeable reduction in campaign efforts and mobilization strategies. Observers within the PDP have noticed a shift, with some suggesting that Ajayi’s apparent lack of confidence reflects deeper uncertainties within the party’s ranks about their competitiveness in this election.
With only 48 hours remaining, the situation raises questions about the PDP’s strategy and whether the party can rally in time to present a formidable challenge to the APC’s candidate, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa. Ajayi’s current stance, if it continues, may shape voter perceptions and impact PDP’s final turnout on Election Day.
