day fixed for governorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

“If other aspirants are not
comfortable with my presence on the day of the primary, I am ready to vacate
the state if that will usher the needed peace.
“What I know however is that with
God almighty behind me, I will still come back to receive certificate of
victory from my people,” Fayose said.
In his address, Secondus assured
members of the party that the primary elections will be free and fair.
He said: “I assure you once
again, there will be transparency and the process would not cheat anybody. I
urge you to join the leaders to work together to ensure free and fair
transparent primaries, eminent Nigerian are conducting the primaries.
“We urge you to remain calm. We
also urge INEC and security agents not to be partial but come to defend
democracy. From here, we are moving to other parts of the country for
sensitisation.”
