THE Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its
governorship candidates cannot score up to 20 per cent of the votes in the
November 16 Kogi and Bayelsa states governorship elections.
The PDP said the APC will
also fail to attain the statutory 25 per cent of the votes in two-thirds of
local governments in the two states.
A statement yesterday by
the spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, further stated that the APC
cannot boast of genuine followership, having failed to consolidate any foothold
in the two states.
The statement said: “This
is so because it is overwhelmingly evident that the PDP has the highest
demography of members, supporters and volunteers in all the electoral units,
wards and local governments, ready for the poll and not even the APC’s recourse
to violence, blackmail, manipulations and rituals can sway the resolve of the
people in both states.
“Moreover, there is already
a consensus that APC’s candidates; the anti-people Governor Yahaya Bello of
Kogi State as well as unskilled David Lyon of Bayelsa State are no match for
PDP’s versatile Musa Wada and cerebral Senator Douye Diri’s popularity in their
respective states.”
“For the people of Kogi
state, the November 16 election is a determined march for freedom; for
inevitable emancipation from the stranglehold of the repressive, vindictive,
exploitative and corrupt APC administration.
