Enyinnaya Abaribe, minority leader of the senate, says the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is ready to capture Ondo and Edo in the forthcoming
governorship elections in the two states.
Speaking with journalists after a Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) caucus meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, Abaribe said they have resolved to
ensure that the PDP win the governorship elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
fixed September 19 and October 10 for the elections in Edo and Ondo states.
The minority leader said they also agreed to support the
efforts of the federal government to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
“The PDP caucus met and considered matters that are germane
to – internal matters of the caucus. We also discussed matters related to the
party and the recent congresses were held in all the states of the federation,”
he said.
“We also considered the fact that there would be elections
in two states; Edo and Ondo states. We resolved that we will encourage our
members in both states to be able to capture those states so we can increase
the number of states under the PDP in Nigeria.
“Every election under this new regime of the APC is turned
into a battle front, so I’m using battle language. The PDP is very ready to
make sure that those states that were under PDP before will return to the fold.
“We agreed that we are going to support the federal
government in its fight against the global pandemic COVID-19 and urge Nigerians
to do their best to stay safe.”
