The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has directed all its presidential aspirants to mobilise and “move all their political machinery into Osun State,” ahead of the upcoming governorship election in the state.
PDP also directed state governors and state Chairmen on its platform to get ready to move into the state and provide “all support necessary and germane in all the nooks and crannies of Osun State in the forthcoming election.”
This was contained in a statement issued by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, “We direct all state governors, officials at state and zonal chapters, national and state assembly members and all other elected leaders at all levels to get ready to move into Osun state and provide all support necessary and germane in all the nooks and crannies of Osun state in the forthcoming election.
“We direct all its presidential aspirants to move all their political machinery into Osun State within this period, as well as get prepared to physically participate in the election process.
“Our insistence as a party is for a level playing ground, a free, fair and credible electoral process, where all votes will count just as our party provided for General Buhari in 2015, that enabled him to be elected as president.
“However, we will not accept our respect for democratic tenets to be taken as a mark of cowardice or weakness.
“Finally, the PDP raises this as a wake-up call to all lovers of democracy across our nation to rise in this spirit to safeguard our democracy from all anti-democratic and oppressive forces represented by the APC and the Buhari Presidency.” - Daily Post
