He again appealed to Ondo people to vote out the incumbent Rotimi Akeredolu led APC government in the state so as to return the state to the path of prosperity.

He appealed also for the massive support of the people for PDP and its flagbearer, Eyitayo Jegede on October 10, 2020.

While wishing PDP and Jegede good luck in the October election, Oligbo, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be truly independent arbiter during the polls.

Tribune Online gathered that Chief Jegede was the former Deputy Governor of Olusegun Mimiko and contested against the incumbent Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) of All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2016. Both will again contest against each other on October 10, 2020, as Akeredolu has also won his party’s (APC) primary election.
