Ahead of the
November 26 governorship election in Ondo State, the state’s Peoples Democratic
Party has told the All Progressives Congress to prepare for its waterloo, as
no
window-dressing committee set up in Abuja can save it from defeat.
The party in a
statement issued through the Eyitayo Jegede Campaign Office in Akure and signed
by its spokesman, Mr. Kayode Fasua, noted that voters in Ondo State would not
abandon a party with achievements for another with no discernible results for
almost two years of governance.
The PDP, in the
statement, said, “Let the APC set up 1000-man committee in Abuja to help it win
in Ondo State, it will still not stop the party from meeting its waterloo. Our
people are wise, educated and intelligent and cannot be bought over with money
or the glib or window-dressing committee that looks set to perpetrate roguery
or indecent political game.
“The APC, as our
people know of it, is deceitful, undisciplined, unfocused, revisionist,
fractious and cannot deliver on electoral promises as prevailing circumstances
have shown.
“These are even made
worse by the disunity and unending crises that not only recently cracked the
wall of the party but also collapsed it in its entirety, with a sizeable chunk
of its population going to join another party.”
The PDP also faulted
a claim by the APC that the Ondo election would be difficult and at the same
time a walk-over, describing the statement as contradictory and mischievous.
“If the APC does not
have a hidden agenda for rigging or bullying of innocent voters, why is it
describing the coming election as “difficult” and at the same time “a walk-over
?”
“Walk-over is a
soccer language. It means your opponent has refused to participate in the
compulsory match and as such, you are given victory without effort. That
allegory can only mean that the APC wants to harass the PDP voters from coming
out and that will not happen for a people determined to be liberated from
hunger and economic misery,” the PDP stressed.
The PDP, therefore,
expressed the conviction that it would win the forthcoming election based on
its physical achievements across the 18 local council areas of Ondo State,
which the people can verify for themselves.Thenation
