The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Usman Ododo,
governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi, is not
popular.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP
spokesperson, claimed that Ododo’s popularity is “very weak” compared to Dino Melaye
who he said is more experienced and competent.
Melaye, a former senator, is the flagbearer of the PDP in
the Kogi governorship election slated for November 11, 2023.
The opposition party said the APC has not lived up to the expectations of the people and will not be given another opportunity to govern.
“The party also
describes the assertion by the APC that there is no vacancy in the Kogi State
Government House as an illusory and pathetic display of fear of imminent defeat
by the PDP given the overwhelming popularity and acceptability of our Candidate
for November 11, 2023, Governorship election in the State, Senator Dino
Melaye,” the statement reads.
“Such arrogant statement by the APC is a serious affront to
the sovereignty and capacity of the people of Kogi State to freely elect their
governor and further exposes the condescension and contempt to which the APC
and its very unpopular and rejected candidate, Usman Ododo have for the people.
“The APC is aware that Usman Ododo as a very weak candidate
has no chance in the face of the overpowering popularity and public acceptance
of a more competent, more experienced, more transparent and people-oriented Senator
Melaye.”
The main opposition party asked the Kogi state government to
ensure that the palliative funds received from the federal government get to
the people.
