Edo: Labour Party, APC in Alliance Against Ighodalo – PDP

Published

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Campaign Council in Edo State has alleged an unholy alliance between the Labour Party and the All Progressives Congress, APC that it claims aims to bring a clueless administration to the state.

Deputy director general of the PDP Campaign Council, Rev Olu Martins in a statement made available to GWG.ng said the alliance between the Labour Party and the APC aims to exploit the ancestral links of Olumide Akpata, the Labour Party governorship candidate to Edo South to cut down the votes of the PDP in the region.

While expressing shock as to why the Labour Party would give itself to such an alliance with APC to the detriment of the people of Edo State, the PDP said:

“It has become clear, even to the least discerning, that the Labour Party in Edo State has entered an unholy pact with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bring Edo people into the same suffering and bondage that Nigerians now reel in under the chokehold of the APC government at the center.

“This alliance seeks to take advantage of the fact that the Labour Party’s candidate, Olumide Akpata, comes from Edo South Senatorial District to split the votes in the senatorial district, thereby reducing the APC’s deficit in the overall gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, September 21, 2024

“It is shocking that the Labour Party, who are aware of the suffering, pervasive gloom and oppression that Nigerians have endured in the last nine years of draconian rule, maladministration, and gross mismanagement of the nation’s economy under the clutches of the APC, is now working with these same oppressors to bring similar suffering and bondage to Edo State.

“We are calling on all Edo people to see through this smokescreen and know that a vote for the Labour Party in the forthcoming September 21 gubernatorial election is a vote indirectly cast for the APC who are our oppressors-in-chief, whose government at the center is superintending over the gradual liquidation of the Nigerian State.

“To prevent Edo’s descent into the suffering, torment, and dictatorship that Nigerians have endured under the stranglehold of the APC-led Federal Government, we urge Edo people to reject them in all their forms or guises, including through their proxy, the Labour Party, which has proven to be insensitive to the plight of the people.

“As we come out on September 21 to cast our votes, we must all know that a vote for the Labour Party is a vote for the continuation of APC’s devastating oppression and suppression of the people and must therefore reject them in totality and vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, to continue on the path of sustained prosperity and accelerated development in our dear State,” the PDP said following the assertions of an alliance between the APC and Lbaour Party in Edo State.
