The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), on Wednesday, advised the Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello to “accept
defeat”, ahead of the November 16 governorship election in the state.
PDP counseled Bello to read the
“handwriting on the wall, do himself good by accepting defeat and stop wasting
public funds on fruitless campaign.”
The party claimed that it already
has the “support of over 70 percent of registered voters in 18 out of the 21
local governments across the state, even ahead of its official campaign
flag-off ceremony in Lokoja on Friday, in preparation for PDP’s inevitable
landslide victory at the November 16 governorship election.”
A statement by PDP’s
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan reads: “The party notes that though it has
uncovered plots by the APC and distressed Governor Bello to frustrate the
flag-off ceremony, our members and supporters, in their millions, are already
several steps ahead, ready to confront and stop the APC and Governor Bello on
their
trails.
“Since we kicked off our
grassroots campaigns in the last few weeks, the PDP has continued to receive
overwhelming support, solidarity and endorsements from all segments of the
voting population including political leaders and community
groups, workers, pensioners, students, youth groups, business groups,
professionals, and a host of other Kogites who have become despondent with the
excruciating misrule of Yahaya Bello.
“This army of the Kogi people is
fully rallied against any plot by the APC to derail any stage of the electoral
process and they will not allow any infringement by anybody, no matter the
machination.
“Governor Bello and the APC ought
to have known that it is all over for them. The spontaneous public jubilation
that greeted the retrieval of PDP’s mandate of Barrister Shaba Ibrahim, for the
Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency, at the Court of Appeal, despite the
machinations of the APC, reinforces the imminent triumph of the PDP and the
people in the November 16 governorship election.
“The people of Kogi state are
ready for this election and cannot wait to kick out Governor Bello and vote in
their candidate, PDP’s Engr. Musa Wada as their next governor.”
PDP, therefore, called on all
people of the state, including all those that have been “impoverished by Yahaya
Bello; those who were unjustly sacked, those who were orphaned and widowed by
this administration as well as all those desirous of seeing a new Kogi state to
continue in their determination to rescue the state from the repressive rule of
the APC.”
