However, reacting to the defection of its members ahead of the election, the Ondo State PDP, in a statement by the State Publicity, Kennedy Peretei, said though, everyone has a constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of Association, ”quitting the party may hurt those decamping personally more than it will hurt the party in the nearest future.”

He said; ”My reaction to those leaving is that everyone has a constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of Association. However, it is incorrect to quit the party on the grounds of unfulfilled aspirations. Be they personal or those of associates. The PDP is a national party, unfulfilled aspirations can be fulfilled tomorrow. Therefore, quitting the party may hurt them personally more than it will hurt the party. That is the truth.”
