Any plan to adopt Edo strategy in Ondo will be resisted – PDP blasts Ganduje

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ondo State chapter, has
lashed out at the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Abdullahi Ganduje, over alleged plans to adopt the template used to win the
just concluded Edo State governorship election for the forthcoming Ondo
election.

 

The PDP, in a statement by the State Publicity Secretary,
Kennedy Peretei, stressed that the people of Ondo State cannot be cowed or
intimidated.

 

The party warned that any attempt to subvert the will of the
people will be resisted, stressing that the 1979 scenario is still fresh in the
memory.

 

He said: “The entire world was not only embarrassed but
ashamed of what Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s sham called the Edo State Governorship
Election held on Saturday, 21st September, 2024.

 

“While the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
and the Nigerian Police were yet to clear themselves of partisanship and
complicity in the election, National Chairman of All Progressives Congress
(APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who flew into Benin with a police helicopter, was
gloating in Abuja that Ondo and Anambra would receive the Edo treatment when
governorship elections hold in these states.

 

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ondo State Chapter
believes that most Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora are beginning to lose
hope in our hard-earned democracy when major players like Ganduje openly allude
to the fact that their votes will not count as long as men like him hold
influential positions.

 

“Ganduje’s victories were the surest confirmation that the
election was rigged. Instead of being sober for subverting the will of the
people, Ganduje robbed salt on injury by saying that his party intends to
control all five South Eastern States.

 

“Perhaps it is important to remind Ganduje that Ondo State
is not one of the states where the people can be intimidated or cowed. Our
people are very enlightened and resilient.

 

“When the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) attempted
to subvert the will of the people, the people proved to the Shagari government
that they were different. That tradition has not died.”
