The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has charged the electorate in Ondo State to resist any attempt to rig Saturday’s gubernatorial poll.
Speaking at the PDP grand finale rally for the Saturday election in the State held in Ondo town, he urged President Muhammadu Buhari to demonstrate good leadership by ensuring that the election is conducted in a free and fair manner as replicated in Edo State.
“I want to urge President Buhari to ensure that the success of the Edo Election is replicated in the Ondo pools.
“Like I always say in any political gathering that the only legacy President Buhari can at least give the country now is to maintain and replicate the credible election conducted in Edo in Ondo State.
“The present government in Ondo State is afraid and intimidated of Eyitayo Jegede’s popularity, probably that was enough reason they destroyed the road that links to our campaign ground.
“I quite understand the political tension in the State is high now and the only way to reduce it is to allow INEC and security operatives to do their job professionally without any bias and allow people’s vote to count.
“Our people must stop APC government from rigging this coming election, don’t allow them to manipulate your vote, it is your right,” he said.
The Chairman of the National PDP Campaign Council for Ondo State election and Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde said people should come out enmasse and cast their votes for Jegede. He added that voting for the party’s candidate would bring unprecedented development to the State.
The Sokoto State Governor and Chairman of PDP Governor’s Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, urged the people of Ondo State to join the train for their liberation from poverty, insecurity and economic woes. He charged them not to be intimidated and cast their vote for the candidate of PDP, Eyitayo Jegede.
Present at PDP’s Ondo City Rally were Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa, former Governor of Osun State Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose among others.
