The All Progressive Congress APC campaign council for the gubernatorial election in Kogi state has mocked the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP, stressing that the party has no chance at wining the election.
This followed the inability of the PDP to commence campaign activities in the state.
The Director General, Bello/Onoja campaign organization, Senator Smart Adeyemi, noted that the opposition party’s silence could either mean the party has no message for the people of Kogi state or was planing to undermine the election. Adding that, the PDP should concede defeat.
Adeyemi said “The main opposition party should announce their withdrawal so that we can know the numbers of candidate left for the election.
“We need them to trade issues with us in the campaign but they are nowhere. We want them to be on the political theater so that we can dance with them. They have no billboards, posters, no media coverage and their party members in drove are decamping to APC with no single person leaving APC for their party.
“PDP should throw in the towel and withdraw so as to save time and resources of Nigeria, Kogi in particular.”
Adeyemi further stressed that APC’s candidate, Yahaya Bello would defeat the opposition party come November 16th.
He said “As for APC, e are hitting the ground running in terms of campaigns to all the nook and crannies of the state and even beyond to other States including Lagos and Abuja and the North to sensitise indigene of the state and present our achievement in the last four year and programmes for the future.
“We shall consume and subsume the PDP without violence; we also beg the opposition not to think of violence.
“APC will not leave any stone unturned, we will work hard to engage the PDP on issues and confront then with achievement, and let them see the maladministration they left behind in their 17 years of misrule; both in human and natural resources.
“The people of the state can see beyond the deceit of the PDP and the year of locust of their rule which Governor Bello is gradually recovering the state from.”
Meanwhile, the State Publicity Secretary of PDP, Bode Ogunmola, revealed that the opposition party was embarking on door-to-door campaign at the grassroots. Adding that the PDP would surprise the ruling party APC at the poll come November 16th.
He said “Let them share all the money in their vault, the people know what they want. They have rejected this government and they should start writing their handover notes. No amount of propaganda can save them now because Kogi people are wiser , and better informed.”
