The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is gearing up for a fierce battle in the upcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states. The party's leadership has declared its readiness to take on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and ensure that the will of the people is not subverted.
According to the PDP's acting national chairman, Umar Damagum, the party has been working tirelessly to ensure that its candidates emerge victorious in the elections. He expressed confidence in the party's chances, citing the impressive performance of the outgoing PDP government in Edo State.
Damagum warned that the PDP would not allow the APC to "steal" its victory, as has been the case in previous elections. He urged the party's campaign team to be fearless and match the APC's antics. The PDP has accused the APC of plotting to rig the elections, but the party is determined to prevent this from happening.
Vanguard reported that, The PDP's candidate in Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki, has been campaigning tirelessly, showcasing his achievements and promising to continue his good work if re-elected. In Ondo State, the PDP's candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, has also been campaigning hard, promising to bring development and prosperity to the state.
The elections in Edo and Ondo states are seen as a litmus test for the PDP's strength and determination. The party is eager to prove that it is still a force to be reckoned with, despite its defeat in the last general elections. The APC, on the other hand, is determined to retain its hold on power in the two states.
As the elections approach, tensions are rising, and the political atmosphere is becoming increasingly charged. The PDP has called on its supporters to remain vigilant and ensure that their votes count. The party has also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the elections are free and fair.
