2019 Guber: We Will Ensure Final Burial Of PDP In Kogi

The governor of Kaduna State and Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, campaign committee in the November 16 governorship election in Kogi State, Nasir-El-Rufai has assured that his committee would work towards the final nailing of PDP’s coffin in the state.

El-Rufai made the promise after the inauguration of the committee by the National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole in Abuja.

. “After the flag-off, I will like to urge all members of the Campaign Council to relocate to Lokoja and remain there in preparation for the final burial and nailing of the coffin of the PDP”, he charged.

While inaugurating the two campaign committees for Kogi and Bayelsa elections, Oshiomhole charged the PDP to go and learn new tactics of winning elections legally as electoral outcomes would no longer be determined by the barrel of the gun

He said, “In Bayelsa, the heart of the people will be turned to elect a man that will make a difference, that will demonstrate that in a genuine democracy, very ordinary people who connect with their people, who understand and live with their people and share the joy, pain and aspirations of their people, even if they do not have the history of a political dynasty can rise to become a governor and I believe that is the story of our candidate in Bayelsa.

“The reaction of PDP shows they are in trouble. My very good friend, Gov. Dickson is in trouble, but I assure him that his labour pains will soon be over by the time we win the elections.

 “We take these two elections very seriously because we believe in the power of the ballot, we believe that the issues should be contested in a peaceful environment and not by the power of gunshots which has been the tradition of the opposition and we know that people want a change.

“Let me use this opportunity to assure the opposition that we are ready for campaigns, it is not a fight, it is not a war. The only thing we will insist on is that the votes must count because Bayelsans are not used to votes being counted.

 They have to be encouraged to understand that the votes will not only be cast in a free and fair atmosphere, but it also must not be through the power of the barrel of the gun.

The PDP must know that and learn new tactics in winning votes and not fight wars,” Oshiomhole charged. Kano State Governor, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, who spoke on behalf of Chairman of the APC Governorship Campaign Council for Bayelsa state, Gov Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa, said it was time the APC took over the governance of Bayelsa.

“This assignment is a historic one because this is the time to take over the governance of Bayelsa State. We will use our political dexterity to ensure that every vote counts because this time around, it is a matter of democracy, not aristocracy.”
