PDP Mocks APC’s Choice Of Ganduje, Bello To Lead Campaign

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taunted the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for choosing three governors it claimed to be tainted to spearhead its campaign in the Edo State governorship election.

The PDP said that by choosing the governors of Kano, Kogi and Imo to lead its election team, that the APC preferred to use a combined formula of “Kano and Kogi electoral violence as well as Imo state mandate robbery” to subvert the will of the people of Edo state in the governorship election.

“The PDP describes as pathetic that the APC only has a person who has become a butt of international shame after being seen in a viral video stuffing his robe with gratification, in foreign currency, to serve as Chairman of its Edo state governorship campaign council,” the PDP said in a statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbodinyan.

“It is equally contemptuous that such a person is being deputized by another individual, who has become a metaphor of electoral manipulation, after being so docketed by a judgment of the Supreme Court.

“It is also disgusting that a governor who deployed a Police helicopter to scare voters on election day has been mandated to deploy thugs and dangerous weapons through the northern borderlines of Edo State ahead of the election.

“Part of APC’s plot is to import election mercenaries as observers to attempt to scare the people of Edo state, suppress them and steal their mandate.

“With its defective nomination process, an ailing campaign council and a dented governorship candidate, it is clear that the APC is not preparing for issue-based and people oriented campaign, but for process manipulation and ballot robbery.

“Our party, in the strongest terms, cautions the APC to note that the “Gandollar,” “Supreme Court Governor” and “helicopter shooting” formulas cannot work in this election as the people of Edo state have never been intimidated, suppressed, subjugated or overpowered by external political influences.

“The APC should also note that the people of Edo state will spare nothing within the law in firmly resisting any attempt by anybody to import violence or try to manipulate the Edo election in any way.”
