Kogi Poll: APC Campaign DG Advises PDP To Withdraw From Race
The Director General of the All Progressive Congress APC governorship campaign council of Bello/Onoja, senator Smart Adeyemi, has called on the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP, to accept defeat ahead of the governorship election in Kogi state.
Adeyemi advised the opposition party to withdraw its candidate contesting in the November 16 gubernatorial poll in the state citing the inability of the PDP to conduct robust campaign as reason.
The DG disclosed this at the APC campaign rally held at un Okene, headquarters of the Central senatorial district.
Adeyemi said “The lukewarm campaign attitude of the PDP called for great concern. For a party to completely boycotted campaign in a whole senatorial district, shows that they have failed. The only thing left in their arsenal is rigging.
“The PDP organized only one campaign in the whole of the Western district and completely boycotted the central. For an opposition party which is going into extinction to have a partial campaign in the West and non in the centre shows that the only option left for them is rigging.
“I have never seen a lukewarm campaign like that of the PDP since the return to Democracy in 1999. It will be better for them to pick up courage and accept defeat knowing that they have two bad candidates for both the governorship and senatorial election.
“For PDP members in Yagba East council area to have openly denied their candidate because of his unguided utterances shows the low the party has descended to.

“We are crying out know because we are not unaware of their evil plan to use force during the election. But as a ruling party, we are ready for them. It will be peace for peace and force for force. Whatever they bring we are ready.
“We pray and we are ready for a peaceful election, but we will not fold our hands and see them take away the true reflections of the electorates to return the governor back to Lugard House.”
