Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has congratulated
Eyitayo Jegede for emerging winner of the just concluded Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, primary election in Ondo State.
Jegede defeated Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi to
clinch the ticket.

Reacting, Atiku on Twitter called on all stakeholders to
support Jegede in the main election.
